Bride prep is so much more than photographs of hair and makeup.
It’s where the story of your wedding day truly begins.
As a wedding photographer, I love this part of the day because it’s often when the nerves, excitement and emotion are at their most genuine.
These are the details you may not fully appreciate on the day, because everything happens so quickly.
Bride prep also gives me the opportunity to capture the little details and relationships that set the tone for the entire gallery — your jewellery, perfume, shoes, flowers, invitations, your dress, and all those beautiful personal touches you spent months choosing.
Most importantly, it allows me to tell the story from the very beginning, rather than starting when you walk down the aisle.
So, if you’re planning your wedding timeline, don’t overlook those precious hours getting ready. Give yourself a little breathing room, surround yourself with the people who make you feel calm and happy, and let your photographer document it all.
Because one day, you won’t just want to remember how you looked when you walked down the aisle. You’ll want to remember how it felt during the build up to getting there
