Wedding Day

Just a few things to keep in mind when getting ready for the big day! A wedding is a very fast-paced event and every wedding is different. This questionnaire will be the key to making sure your day runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Please take the time to read all of the questions and answer to best of your knowledge. Of course every effort will be made to capture all the shots that you want, but sometimes conditions prevent that from happening. I will pose you at certain moments for group and couples photos, but the best approach for candid photos for most of the day is for us to photograph each stage of the day as it naturally unfolds. My style of photographing is to stay behind the scenes and capture genuine moments. Relax and have fun! This is your day with your person and

Getting Ready

Getting ready shots can be some of the most beautiful shots of the day. A couple of things to keep in mind: I encourage you to wear something comfortable before putting on your dress, just be sure that it is something in which you would like to be photographed and makes you feel beautiful! Often, a flattering robe makes the perfect pre wedding attire! Make sure there is natural light in the room where the bride will be getting ready (window light). A naturally lit room ensures the best, most flattering light in your photos! If possible, try to have all bridal details together before the photographer arrives. (Dress, jewelry, shoes, bouquet, garter, veil, etc) Set them aside in a shoe box or container and I’ll photograph them all at once. This will make the detail shots quick and efficient so I have more time to focus on you! Keep the area near the window free of trash, bags, snacks, etc. This will be where you will be putting on your dress, so we want to make sure it’s clear of anything that might clutter the images or be distracting in your portraits. Allow more time than you think you need to get ready. It’s always better to be safe than rushed!
