Hello, everybody. Do you take wedding photos before your wedding? In my living places, all the lovers who will marry will take wedding photos. They wear different clothes which they are like and take many kinds of photos, sometimes they take in the house, sometimes they take from outside, like the beach, sea or mountains, etc. They will choose some of them which they like and enlarge to keep them into the board or photo album, so during their wedding, their friends and relatives can view their nice moment. It's a good way to keep the honey memory, but it also wastes money, LOL. How about your living place?

Here most of the couples will take wedding photos before wedding, including me. We will take both outdoor and indoor wedding photos with several styles. I don't think it wastes money. After all, probably we get married only once in our lives. Why not keep our happy moments?
I love China

yes. we took them here too and it cost a bomb especially developing the photos and putting them into an album. the sales staff would try to ask you to take as many as possible. we took quite a lot and frankly i think we wasted money on that. the money could be better spent elsewhere. even my wife agree with me now. the album would be in our closet and the last time i saw them was defintiely more than a month ago. so my advice is just select a few of the same gown and scenery and i think that is sufficient.

of course my wedding pictures were taken
it's the most beautiful day in my life
I still love looking at them
I didn't take pictures before the wedding
I don't know if it would cost me more
I just didn't have the photographer to do it
so they only took wedding ceremony and reception pictures

Hi Coffeesong,
Here in the place I live in, we have the same habit as you to take Wedding Photos before wedding, and my girlfriend and I plan to do it shortly to, I think we would also go to a sea or a Forest to take them.
I do think the Photos a good memo. for the wedding and all my friends could enjoy those Phothos, which is one of our most beautiful and happiest moments.

hi. the wedding photos taken before the wedding is called a pre-nuptial photos. I have it also before my wedding. i thinks its not a waste of money because you get to test a lot of things just like your make-up, the photographer etc. for the make-up, you get to see how are you going to look with it. for the photographer, you can test if he is really good. it will be too late if you already have your wedding pictures and you found out that you dont look good. that pictures will last a lifetime.

Taking pictures of your big day creates memories, and even though it is expensive its worth it in the end, because you dont want to look back and regret not spending the money

hi coffeesong
i agree with you that those photos really cost big sum of money
but i think if you got the chance for picturing it, why not ..:D
it's a once in a lifetime moment.. ah and we all hope that it's the first and the last one surely
so having those all framed would be a very precious thing
here it's been a must for the brides to get a pre-wedding photos
i saw such photos here are very very beautiful
no doubt every couples want to get such photographs for their special moment
some of the couples i know went abroad like to melbourne or paris, etc for their pre-wed photos
here i post a photo from a famous Indonesian photographer, Freyja
thanks coffeesong ..:D

in my living place, wedding photos is like a must.... every couple will take the wedding photo... normally they will take at the studio... but now, most of them like to take at beach, sea, garden, all the natural places and for some who is rich, they will decide to take the photo oversea.... like the wedding i attend recently, they put their photo album during their wedding and they do a projector keep displaying all their photo, from they born till know each other, till engagement, registration and the wedding day... it really sweet... actually it quite expensive but i don't think is a wastes of money because the sweet memory just once in the life... that can be keep forever...

We have no such custom of taking wedding photos before wedding. If photos are taken, they are taken just before the weddign when the bride an dGroom get ready in the wedding dress and mostly it is taken alone. Their joint photos are taken only at the timeof wedding or after teh wedding.

I think wedding pictures are really memorable and should be treasured since getting married is one of the major stages of one's life.
I just got married last January and we only had our photo-shoot during our wedding day. We didn't have the time to take pictures in different locations.
I am so happy reminiscing our wedding day. My husband and I are all-smiles in the pictures and we really looked beautiful and happy couple.
I've uploaded one of our pictures, named "our wedding picture".

we only have a couple of photos before our wedding, we kept it with our wedding photos then, i think wedding photos are treasured and it is a treasure to keep. one day, you can scan the album and reminiscence the memories taken on that particular time and place, isn't it wonderful to scan the pages over and over again? mind you, you have lots of stories to tell to your children and grandchildren.

As we're not getting married on everyday so the wedding photos should be a longlasting memory on how we've been celebrated as the King of the Day. Some people takes their wedding photos before their wedding day and some of them on the wedding day itself. In my places, this can be differentiate according to their own's custom. No matter when they takes the picture, several years after their marriage they can still look at the photos and simply memorize it. Thus, it will help to make their bond being more stronger.
