This is the most important thing to consider before you start planning your pre wedding shoot. Also, consider deciding your BUDGET.

Once you have decided or short-listed the locations, check if the places are available on chargeable basis or free of cost. Another important thing to keep in mind is to make the required bookings- travel arrangements to reach the destination, booking the venue along with a green room.
