8 ‘Fun’tastic Props You Can Use for Your Pre-Wedding Photoshoot

A pre-wedding photoshoot is a wonderful way to live that ultimate wedding fantasy that was on the playback mode since your childhood. It could be—you sleeping in an oyster shell, and the prince of your dreams opening it to discover you, a walk on the beach with your beloved or exchanging a romantic kiss in the deep-blue sea. But what makes these moments stand out is the selection and utilisation of the wedding props. Everyone invests in a good wedding photographer, location and outfits, so why leave the pre-wedding props?

It’s time to ditch those old-school wedding props and experiment with these absolutely ‘fun’tastic props to make that click—stand out!

Green Screen

Ever wondered how your best friend has managed to get his pre-wedding pictures done with the Seven Wonders of the World as the backdrop? Well, thank green-screen technology for this magic! It lets you shoot against a green backdrop (a cloth) and a digital version of you is created by an editor. So, crush those giant mountains under your thumb, strike the famous romantic pose on the Titanic, set a date on the moon amongst glittering stars or ride on a dolphin with your partner! How about that?

It’s a very interesting prop to use for a pre-wedding photoshoot. Though your pre-wedding photographer will most probably give you a bride or groom’s getting-ready shot. You can place a giant mirror outdoors and capture several fragmented or solo portraits. You can play around with reflections to capture a superb wedding photograph.

No matter how better and fancy your wedding props are, if you don’t hire a professional candid photographer then you might not be able to get the click that you imagined. Also, ensure that you and the pre-wedding photographer are on the same page to get the desired results. A small tip for those considering a pre-wedding photoshoot — make a note of the poses you are comfortable with in front of the camera. Also, go over the prop checklist to ensure that you don’t miss out on any.

Enjoy every moment and smile, as that’s what counts at the end of the day.
