We didn’t just mean props and exotic locations when we talked about themed photoshoots, for who says themes always have to be elaborate? You can still stick to a theme while making it extremely personal for the two of you! How? Build a theme around the ‘firsts’ in your relationship, and relive your favourite moments while recreating them!
Some of our favourites are the first time you went on a long drive, the first time he cooked for you, your first date together, and the place he proposed you! You can top it off with some tried and tested pre-wedding photoshoot poses to make the entire affair more memorable. This would definitely take you and everyone else on a ‘feels’ trip!
For The Love Of Pets
If both of you love friendly paws, then what better way to celebrate your love than by inviting your furry friends over? Be it a dog, cat, hamster, rabbit, or any other pet that you fancy, bring them along to add an extra layer of cuteness to your pre-wedding photoshoot!
We suggest that you dress them up in bow ties and bows, and maybe even make them pose around cute signs that say, “Woof approves!” or “Official ring bearer”. Getting wedding ideas already?
Invite Your Friends

If you and your beau go long back in school, then what better way of celebrating your love than taking a trip down memory lane? For example, pose with your favourite comics, or pose while playing a game of Jenga! If the two of you were high school sweethearts, then you could even pose together in your school uniform, or at the side of your scooty! Throw a basketball in the picture and you’re done!
If you’re in the mood of going the extra mile, then you can also indulge in a pre-wedding video concept and create a beautiful montage of all your favourite memories.

If there has been any theme more loved for pre-wedding photoshoots, then it’s Bollywood, and why not? It’s the personification of everything romance, and the perfect theme to go for if you’ve got a flair for drama!

For The Lovers Of Everything Artsy
If you and your partner love to have some art around the corner, then what could be better than turning your wedding photoshoot into art? Wonder why?

And if you’re someone that loves fashion, then you can even include elaborate pre-wedding photoshoot dresses in your kit. The field is yours to experiment with, ladies!
Go To A Beach
We’ve all heard about beach weddings, so why not get a beach photoshoot itself? Get you and your partner clicked while taking a walk around the beach, making sand castles, dancing in the waves, and finally snuggling up to each other beside a bonfire against the setting night? And what’s more, beeches make the perfect setting for pre-wedding photoshoot poses. There could hardly be anything more romantic than this!

We’re imaging flowing dresses, twinkling stars, and a lot of glitters suspended in mid-air. We’re already loving the picture, are you?
Winter Wonderland
This one can hardly ever fail! Create a faux winter wonderland with green screen, props, and fake snow, or whisk your bae and your photography retinue to a snowy location and get crafty with your poses! We’re talking Snowman, ear muffs, snow fights, and lots of laughter and happy smiles!
Reader’s Paradise
This one is for everyone out there who love their books as much as they love each other. Create a literary themed pre-wedding shoot complete with coffee, books, and a lot of soft, stolen glances. You can also begin your photoshoot with a quote you both love and feel deeply about to make it all the more special.
For The Lover of Woods
There is something of an old world magic about woods that makes them the perfect spot to organise a pre-wedding shoot. This one would be especially beautiful if you’re planning your shoot around fall because the light is just so beautiful that time of the year. And lets not forget how gorgeous a red gown would look against all those woody accents!
Celebrate Love
If there is one way for you to celebrate your love, its by going to places that are known as a symbol of love. Go to ancient monuments and get yourself some aesthetic and dramatic shots that you can never get tired of admiring! And if you’re worried about the crowd, then just make sure that you and your retinue are one of the early birds and you will get the shots of a lifetime!
Desert Rose
There is something effortlessly chic and classy about deserts that we couldn’t help from including them on our list of pre-wedding photoshoot ideas.
