***Photos courtesy of Leeann Marie Photography, Joey Kennedy Photography, and Dawn Derbyshire Photography Some of the most precious moments happen while you and your bridal party are getting ready for your wedding day. Here are our 5 favorite getting ready wedding photo moments to capture on the morning of your special day!
1) Accessories, please!
Considering the time and energy you’ve put into selecting the perfect accessories for your big day, it only makes sense to photograph them! We love photos of the bride’s jewelry, shoes, nails, and even the garter!
For an elegant backdrop in your jewelry photos, bring a decorative tray with you! This monogrammed jewelry tray available on Etsy is perfect.
2) Pop… Fizz… Clink!
Enjoy some time with your bridesmaids by popping mini bottles of champagne in cute matching satin robes or even PJ’s! Trust us, the photos will be adorable.
3) The DRESS
Your dress deserves a spotlight of its own – at least for a minute! For photos of your dress, be sure to have a large window or another well-lit backdrop.
Pro Tip! Buy a customized wooden hanger for polished photos of your exceptional gown. This customized hanger (available on Etsy) is chic and classic.
4) Strike a Pose
Recreating some of your “getting ready” moments for your photographer can make for the most precious photos. While you are putting on your dress or fastening your necklace, take a minute to pose!
Pro Tip! Schedule your photographer’s arrival to coincide with the start of your eye makeup. Capturing your base makeup isn’t too exciting.
5) Guaranteed Tear-Jerkers
Who doesn’t gush over a photo of a father helping his son tie his tie on his wedding day? Or a photo of the flower girl gazing up at the bride and her dress? Here are some of our favorite gushy getting ready moments:
