One thing I tell my brides over and over again is to enjoy this moment. The getting ready portion of your wedding day deserves to feel quiet, intentional, and unrushed.
As women, so many of us grow up dreaming about the day we finally get to put on a wedding dress. And when that day actually comes, it can be so easy to get caught up in everything happening around you that you forget to really experience it.
If you start to feel overwhelmed by the chaos, take a breath. Bring yourself back to the moment. Look around you. Take it all in.
As your wedding photographer, I’m constantly observing more than just what’s happening in front of my camera. I’m paying attention to you, your emotions, and how you’re experiencing the day. Checking in with my brides during these moments is something I take seriously, and I’ve never hesitated to step in when I can sense that things are becoming overwhelming.
Because more than anything, I want you to actually enjoy the moments you’ve spent so long looking forward to. I know firsthand just how quickly they pass.
Anyway, enjoy these sweet getting ready moments from a wedding last year. One of my favorite images from this day is when Dani asked her momma to help wash her feet before stepping into her wedding dress. Such a simple moment that I’ll never forget.
