Pre-Wedding Photography Stories by AK Smoke Films
Your pre-wedding shoot isn't just about getting photos before the wedding chaos begins. It is the time we get to know each other, explore locations that actually mean something to you, and capture the chemistry that makes you, well, you. From quiet beach sunsets to playful walks through the French Quarter, we focus on capturing the way you look at each other when you think no one is watching.

About Pre-Wedding Stories
We do not believe in forced poses or rigid instructions. Instead, we plan these sessions to feel like a day out together, whether that involves wandering through the French Quarter or catching the sunset by the coast. If you feel like laughing, dancing, or just sitting quietly, that is exactly what we want to capture. We guide you on light and angles, but the raw, unscripted chemistry between you is what fills the frame.
Planning a pre-wedding shoot can be overwhelming, but we keep it simple. Our goal is to create a set of images that act as a prologue to your wedding story.
Why a pre-wedding shoot? It is the perfect low-pressure environment to get comfortable in front of the camera. By the time your actual wedding day arrives, you will know exactly how we work, and we will know what angles make you feel most confident.
Locations and Styles Whether you want the rustic, teal doors of Pondicherry, the green canopies of a botanical garden, or the vast, open beaches near Chennai, we are happy to travel. We have specific experience managing outdoor lighting in these regions to ensure you do not get those harsh, squinty-eyed shadows.
What we provide:
- Full day outdoor coverage
- Drone cinematography for sweeping, cinematic shots
- Costume change coordination
- Quick 'Save the Date' highlight videos
We often use simple props like umbrellas or bicycles to add an element of playfulness, helping you interact naturally rather than staring at a lens. If you have a specific location in mind—a cafe where you had your first date or a park you visit every weekend—let us know. Those details add personal meaning to the frames, making them more than just pretty pictures.
