Pre & Post Wedding Photoshoots

Pre and Post Wedding Photoshoots

One thing you may not realize is how fast your wedding day will fly by, not allowing you the time you hoped for to get the number of great photos you’d like, and cutting into the limited time you have to spend enjoying your wedding celebrations with those who you hold closest to your heart.

Having a pre-wedding and/or post wedding photoshoot adds hours back to your wedding timeline and can reduce some of the stresses.

 

So, what are they?

A Pre-Wedding Photoshoot:

Usually done 1 to 2 months prior to your wedding, a pre-wedding photoshoot tends to be more of a bridal and/or groom’s shoot, allowing time for less stressed and more relaxed posing sessions. However, there are no rules. You can bring your bridal party and/or groomsmen. It can be any style; with any props you desire. It’s your moment to capture precious memories to be cherished for the years ahead.

A Post-Wedding Photoshoot:

A post wedding photoshoot is done anytime after your wedding day and is another opportunity to capture some great photos without the stress nor the time constraints of your wedding day. It allows you time get made up and pampered again, for multiple outfit changes, and time to be creative with a combination of different planned and spontaneous shots.

 

Benefits of having one (or both!)

Weather:

No more worries about bad weather! Having a pre-wedding and/or post-wedding shoot gives you the ability to be more flexible with when and where you shoot. If you have a winter wedding, it’s a great opportunity to get some spring, summer, or fall shots. If you have an outdoor wedding, it’s a great opportunity to get some spectacular indoor shots at Belair Suites!

Location:

You can go anywhere you like, planning both indoor and outdoor shoots at the perfect time of day, in multiple locations. For your indoor shots, Belair Suites offers a selection of luxurious pre-styled suites for you to choose from. Why not switch it up by shooting in multiple suites without having to change locations!

Time:

On your wedding day you’re pressed for time. Your guests are waiting for you, and you’re pressured to get your pictures quickly. It’s not always possible to get all the pictures you want, or to get to all the picturesque places you’d like to. Depending on the time year and the time of day, things like traffic, construction or bad weather can hinder your plans. Pre-wedding and post-wedding shoots don’t have any time limits, so you can focus on getting the best shots, both indoors and outdoors.

Attire:

Your wedding attire doesn’t have to serve you just for one day, nor do you have to be limited to only one attire or style. Feel free to switch it up and experiment. Shooting indoors at Belair Suites you can go from formal and traditional, to boudoir and sexy, and everything in-between.

Pets:

Is there anything cuter than including your fury friends? Belair Suites is pet friendly. You may not be able to include your other life partner at your wedding, but it doesn’t mean that they must be left out completely.

Photographer:

Did you have a favorite photographer that wasn’t available on your wedding day? Did your partner prefer another photographer? Would you like to have a different style, perspective, or vibe for your wedding photos? This is your opportunity to have the best of both worlds for even more stunning photo memories. Why not check out some of our amazing photographers on the Belair Suites “Creatives” page.

Wedding Size:

Especially if you’re having or had a huge wedding, it can be nice to experience a more intimate photoshoot. You can plan a pre-wedding elopement shoot, or a post-wedding renewal of vows. It doesn’t always have to be a big venue. At Belair Suites we can help you host a pre-photoshoot, a mini wedding, or a post wedding photoshoot.

Pampering:

Who doesn’t love to be pampered. Having a pre-wedding and/or post-wedding shoot is yet another reason to get pampered again. Get your hair, makeup, and nails done again. At Belair Suites you can get your makeup done on the spot with one of our makeup tables. Bring your own makeup artist or checkout one of ours!
