Plenty of studios provide both pre wedding as well as wedding photography services in the same package, especially when both photoshoots are scheduled in the same few weeks. On the other hand, some may not be included in the wedding photography package as most shoots are done a few weeks before the wedding and hence the studio or photographer may have prior bookings.
