How to prepare for pre-wedding portraits (getting ready)

Prep coverage can begin in a hotel room, your parent’s home, or wherever you and your friends and family are hanging out prior to the start of the event. We typically arrive toward the end of the bridal hair and makeup appointment and start to style and photograph your dress and details, and snap candid shots of you all hanging out in robes or your casual attire.

Same goes for the groom. It’s helpful to have bags, food, and personal items moved away from the windows. The window area or directly across from the window or bed is where we will likely be posing you.

Once you’re ready to get into your dress, make sure whoever is helping you will be wearing what they feel comfortable being photographed in.
