Preparing for your wedding day detail photos
How to start the Photography of your wedding day on the right foot:
1. Make sure there is natural light in the room where the bride will be getting ready (window light). This makes a WORLD of difference in your images! I promise!
2. If possible, try to have all bridal details together before the photographer arrives. This will make the detail shots more efficient!
3. Keep the area near the window free of trash, bags, snacks, etc. This will be where the bride will be putting on her dress! (We don’t need any Aquafina bottles in our bridal portraits).
4. Allow more time than you think you need to get ready! It’s better to be safe than RUSHED!
