1. Consider the space you’re getting ready in.
Take a moment to envision the ideal space where you'll commence your wedding day preparations. Does your chosen venue offer a suitable area. Ensure that the chosen space is spacious enough to accommodate your entire bridal party comfortably, allowing for a seamless and stress-free getting-ready experience. Opt for a setting that not only resonates with your taste but also provides ample room for the hustle and bustle of pre-wedding preparations.
Additionally, pay close attention to the lighting in your chosen space. Natural light can be your ally as it's stunning and flattering for photographs. Prioritize a well-lit environment with an abundance of natural light, ensuring that your getting-ready moments are beautifully captured.
2. Consider the time
Timing is Key: Allocate sufficient time for capturing this special bride getting ready moments. Coordinate with the bridal party to synchronize everyone's readiness.
3. Disconnect from Digital Distractions
Take a break from your phones and other electronic devices. Resist the urge to constantly check social media and emails. Disconnecting from the digital world allows you to fully immerse yourself in the present moment, fostering a genuine connection with those around you. Replace the buzzing of notifications with the soothing sounds of music, creating an atmosphere that encourages authentic interactions and the creation of meaningful memories.
4. The Details
When I arrive, the first thing I will often ask for is your details so I can take detail shots! I try to make sure that this part is not rushed, because even though these might not be the most important photos of the day, they are still so meaningful! If you wouldn’t mind, please prepare all your details you’d like photographed, and keep them prepared in one designated spot! This creates a seamless start to the day, instead of trying to track down each detail!
