Try to Keep Tidy

As you’re getting ready for your big day, it’s important to keep in mind that your photographer will be arriving to capture those pre-ceremony moments.

Locations With Natural Lighting Are A Must

When selecting a location for your getting-ready photos, it’s important to consider the lighting. Great lighting can make a huge difference in the quality and overall look of your photos. That’s why choosing a location with plenty of natural light is a must.

Megan and her bridal party made a great choice in selecting a wedding venue with a breathtaking bridal area for getting ready. The abundance of natural light pouring in through the windows created the perfect setting for capturing beautiful photos. Megan’s bridal party had plenty of space to move around and get ready, and the first look with her friends was a touching moment filled with laughter and joy.

Mirrors

When it comes to getting ready for your wedding day, having enough mirrors can make a big difference. Not only do mirrors provide a convenient way to check your hair and makeup, but they also add a stylish touch to your photos! It also ensures everyone has their own mirror to get ready in front of, so there is no wasted time.

Assign Someone to Keep Track of Your Wedding Timeline

As you prepare for your wedding day, it’s important to make the most of your getting ready time. Consider assigning someone in your bridal party to keep track of the timeline. This way, you can be fully present, relaxed, and confident knowing that everything is under control. From first looks with your spouse, parents, or bridal party, to candid shots that capture the joy and excitement of the day, a well-managed timeline will help you to preserve these memories for years to come.

Getting ready photos are often overlooked, but they are some of my personal favorites. These photos provide a glimpse into the excitement and anticipation building as the wedding day officially begins. It’s a time when things start to feel real and all the planning and preparation start to come together. With the right venue, lighting, and bridal party, getting ready photos can be just as stunning as any other part of the wedding day.
