For example, if you want to take a walk around your favorite places in the city, you should first make a route and choose the main points of the shoot. Make sure to investigate the selected location in advance when you prefer to arrange a love story in nature. In this case, on the day of shoot you do not waste time searching for a suitable place where strangers will not interfere.

If you plan to arrange shooting in several locations, consider how much time you need for moving between them. You must have enough time to make all the desired photos. According to Bellanaija, it can be
- a large park with several beautiful locations of landscape design;
- a coast with photos on the pier, on the beach and the ship or yacht;
- a city with some interesting places for filming which are located closely.

Use fountains, waterfalls, ponds and lakes, alleys with an abundance of greenery and flowers, creative flower beds, statues, various installations of stone and plants, decorative bridges and streams.

Many studios offer ready-made interior for indoor shooting. It can be a suitable one-colored background as well as a classic interior with designed furniture, paintings, and other interior items. Photos with the imitation of a flower shop or bookstore look interesting too. Some pictures in the shop window behind the glass are a great idea.

Shooting time
Gentle and slightly mystical dawn hour, sunny afternoon, magical sunset, mysterious twilight atmosphere - all these phases of the day are beautiful. Depending on the pictures you want to get.
Choose the time for your photoshoot and consult the photographer. He or she will explain to you why the “golden hour” before sunset is so beautiful and how to choose the right lighting for the evening love-story.
In the Bella Naija photos, we often see a bright sunny day. There are also some evening photos. Seascapes are especially beautiful at sunset.

Bellanaija inspired your creative dreams
If you can’t bring all your ideas to life on your wedding day, arrange a love-story for yourself with the pre-wedding photo shoot! Have you always dreamed of a gothic look or black dress? Maybe shooting on a farm in eco-style or a romantic walk in the rain is your heart's desire? Highlight a separate day for shooting to realize all your dreams and even the wildest ideas. Most likely, you will have no time for this at the wedding.

Outfits for pre-wedding photos
When preparing outfits, you should pay attention to the style or theme of your love story. For a shoot with a luxurious decor evening wears - elegant dresses and tuxedos are great. For a cozy photo shoot at sunset in the park or picnic the images in a casual style, flying natural fabrics, muted tones, and pastel colors are preferable.

For a shoot in a marine style, you can pick up light outfits (white, blue-gray) and shirts with a marine pattern. And for a Boho style, you should choose light natural textiles and add bright accents to the images.

One of the basic principles of choosing images is their compatibility. You can go in two ways: choose individual images, while paying attention to the overlapping elements in wears, the whole color scheme, or choose similarly, "identical" images (identical shirts, jeans, etc.).
Picking up the same clothes, you can take for the couple different colors and trims or highlight the images with different accessories. If you choose clothes individually, then keep the colors compatibility. Your images should look harmonious together.

It's ideally, if the outfits have any unifying elements, for example, the same color for different items. You can choose a "symmetrical" color scheme. The colors of the top and bottom of the male and female images are interchanged. The style should also be the same.
