Thereās something so special to me about these small moments before you walk down the aisle š„ŗ And I will admit, you can always find a handful of getting ready shots in my favorites from my galleries. So letās talk about it! Here are a few reasons why I adore them so much:
āØIt Completes the StoryāØ
Capturing the time before your ceremony ā while you do your hair, get your makeup done, put on your final jewelry pieces, or tie your shoes ā completes the whole story. Although the ceremony is the main event, your day isnāt just about that or the reception, and your gallery should reflect that.
āØThe EmotionsāØ
From the first glimpse of your completed makeup to that final look in the mirror, the getting ready moments are filled with raw emotion and love from your closest friends and family. And those intimate, heartfelt moments become some of the most special moments of the entire wedding day.
āØSmall DetailsāØ
The time we set aside for getting ready photos is the perfect chance to capture all the little details ā your rings, shoes, jewelry, heirlooms, perfume, attire ā that might otherwise be overlooked. You may not remember every little thing, but thatās what your photographer is for: to preserve those details so youāll never forget.
āØThe MemoriesāØ
Getting ready with your bridal party, parents, or close family is such a special time ā and itās a memory for them too. Capturing these moments gives you + your loved ones something to look back on and remember the time they spent with you.
āØCherished KeepsakeāØ
Years later, these images will serve as a beautiful reminder of your special day and everything that led up to it. Itās not just about the ābigā moments ā itās the small ones, too, that youāll cherish forever.
At the end of the day, itās these small moments that make the getting ready photos so meaningful. Whether itās the final details of your look or the quiet moments shared with family and friends, these photos become a timeless keepsake, preserving the memories that might otherwise fade. Thatās why Iām such a fan of getting ready shots ā they truly bring the whole story together.š¤
