Queenstown Pre-Wedding Photography: What To Expect

Looking to plan your pre-wedding photoshoot in Queenstown? You will want to make sure you are prepared for what is coming. Queenstown has many beautiful places that aren’t too far from the city center and can be easily reached by car or public transport. Suppose you’re looking for a more adventurous experience. In that case, there are plenty of outdoor activities on offer in Queenstown that would make great backdrops for photographs. We’ve put together some tips on what you should expect when booking Queenstown pre wedding photography!

1) Why choose Queenstown for these photographs?

Queenstown is the adventure capital of New Zealand and offers many options for different kinds of shoots. Beautiful lakes, rivers, and mountains all around make great backdrops against your wedding attire!

Choosing a location:

There are plenty of places to choose from in Queenstown that can work well as photo locations. Still, we recommend venues that aren’t too crowded or busy with tourists so you’ll have more time to get ready without other people wandering into the frame. Some good spots include Arrowtown (about 20 minutes out), Glenorchy (45-minute drive), and Kingston (35-minute drive). For outdoor activities such as kayaking or white water rafting on their way to these destinations would be perfect opportunities to take some pictures. If they want a more urban feel, Queenstown itself is always a great option for photos.

Choosing outfits:

A good idea before the photoshoot is to decide what kind of vibe or theme you’d like your Queenstown pre wedding photography session to have. What are you going as? Will it reflect on their personalities and interests? These can all help choose outfits that will work well together in your photographs – but don’t worry if you’re still stuck! We’ll make sure we find something suitable within our extensive wardrobe collection at the studio, so come prepared with an open mind

2) What locations are recommended for this?

There are so many great options for photography in Queenstown. There is the natural beauty of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains. Suppose you’re looking to capture something more urban. In that case, we also have several unique backdrops in our studio (we’ve got everything from old TVs & vintage suitcases to stacks of milk crates!)

3) What should I bring along?

Don’t forget your camera! Other than that, just come with an open mind and anything else you might need for photography, such as hair brushes, etc. We’ll provide all other equipment used throughout the session 🙂 Just let us know if there are any special requests beforehand.

4) How long does the photography session take?

We offer two-hour sessions, which are usually plenty of time for anything from pre-wedding shoots, families, or even pets! If more complex shots are involved, such as travel (overseas) trips, then extra time will need to be booked beforehand.

5) What do I wear?

Be yourself! Be comfortable but stylish. Think about what reflects the real you and have fun. Let us know if any specific outfits would work better than others so that clothes don’t get creased etc., on the day!!

6) How to hire your services?
