Pre-wedding Shoot

Neutral tones, pastels, and timeless styles work best on camera.

What locations work best for a pre-wedding shoot?

The best pre-wedding locations are places that feel natural and meaningful to you as a couple. Many couples in Chennai choose beach locations along ECR, heritage buildings, quiet cafés, or even their own homes for a more personal feel. Destination options like Goa beaches, Rajasthan palaces, or hill stations are also popular for couples planning a larger celebration. The key is choosing a setting that matches your personality and the mood you want in your photos.
