If you think Wedding Preparations are all pink, fluffy, and perfect, then youāre wrong (Kidding! Lol :P ). Think of it as your first big project as soon to be Mr. and Mrs! It is exciting but at the same time, it will test your patience, your tear glands (lol :P ),Ā and more importantly, your budget. Hence, couples should first decide what are the wedding details/essentials that they want to prioritise (it will help if you list down all details..Trust me.). For my fiancĆ© and I, we decided to splurge (a little) on the prenup shoot. So for my fellow bride-to-beās, hereās a little bit of an insight of what you should take into consideration when planning for a prenup shoot:Ā
When you say prenup shoot, it means taking into consideration the following:
Out of Town or Not? ā Make sure that both of you decide if this is an out-of town shoot or not because of additional charges. But if you really have the budget, then go ahead and be adventurous!! :P
Photographers and Videographersā These are the people who will capture those ākesoā moments :P . Either you get a separate supplier for your photos and videos Ā or hire those who offer both services (sort of like 2-in-1 services). Really, itās your call :)
Hair and Make-up Artists ā Your best friend/s during these moments. Either you get a HMUA that offers services till your wedding day or get a different HMUA on your prenup and wedding day. Again, your call :P
Location ā I really donāt know if there are still locations that you can do photo/video shoot randomly. Make sure you arrange all necessary permits and fee/s prior doing your prenup shoot.
Prenup Stylist ā For me, this is a ānice-to-haveā prenup detail. Though, they make your life easier especially if you have complex or complicated ātheme or conceptā for your prenup.
Fact: Prenup stylist/s can provide you set of clothes depending on the service package you availed. Also, theyāll be the ones who will make/bring props making the location more attractive and conducive for photo and video shoots. However, if you happen to choose a location that is already equipped or is already beautiful as it is, then thereās no need for props (just like what we did..)
How did we manage to meet these suppliers?
The photo and videographers were also the same suppliers on a friendās wedding. We fell in love with their work immediately (weāre that simple to please :P )
The location was convenient to visit (few blocks from my condo), it is air-conditioned (a MUST), and it reflects our personality (fun, coffee, calligraphy, etc.). More importantly, the location fee is inclusive of food. Hence, we didnāt have a problem during the entire shoot since everyone can order what they want.
HMUA were trusted since my āSmartā days.
Prenup Stylist was actually a āgiftā from one of our entourage ā my fiancĆ©ās friend/groomsman. We were not supposed to get one, however, one of my fiancĆ©ās decided to give us a stylist as a āgiftā. You know who you are :)
