For The Brides

1. Fashion

Such photoshoots revolve around the bridal look you're wearing. Lehengas are a popular choice so opt for pastels or even deeper hues with brighter pops of colour as they are stylish for a wedding ensemble and will look striking and bright when photographed in the day time.

2. Beauty

Whether you choose to go for a full face makeup look or a more minimal one, don't skip out on concealer under your eyes and on blemished spots as those are a dead giveaway to looking tired in photos. Seal it all in with setting spray so that your makeup stays put even if you spend hours in your shoot.

3. Accessories

Your bridal outfit with look fabulous when completed with the right accessories. An elaborate jewellery set will add traditional flair to your photographs, even if it isn't your choice for your big day. Don't forget to add a potli bag, which is currently a hot trend for ethnic looks.

For The Grooms

1. Fashion

Who said grooms can't experiment when it comes to their wedding looks! For the pre-shoot, a traditional sherwani in classic tones won't fail you. If you're willing to experiment more, floral printed pieces are also a modern choice for a day time look that will photograph wonderfully.

2. Beauty

If you aren't willing to get light makeup done, basic grooming is necessary. Cleansing wipes will freshen your face, even when you break into a sweat when shooting. For those with facial hair, don't forget to go in ready with a mustache and beard wax so that you look tidy and groomed.

3. Accessories

Want to add a cool touch to your outfit? Slip on a pair of snazzy sunglasses for a couple of your pictures. Definitely don't skip thinking about the right pair of footwear for your outfit. It may seem minor but will feature in all of your wedding pictures.
