These candid and intimate photos are a beautiful addition to your wedding album and hold special memories that you'll cherish for a lifetime. Here are five reasons why you need getting ready photos on your wedding day.
1. Capturing the Emotions
Getting ready for your wedding is an emotional experience. From the anticipation and excitement to the nerves and joy, there are countless emotions that you and your loved ones will experience. Getting ready photos allow your photographer to capture these raw and authentic emotions as they unfold. These photos showcase the love, laughter, and tears that are shared among you and your bridal party, family, and friends as you prepare for your big day.

Your wedding day is filled with carefully chosen details, from your bridal gown and accessories to your hair and makeup, and everything in between. Getting ready photos provide an opportunity to document these details in a meaningful way. As your photographer, we will capture close-up shots of your wedding dress, shoes, jewelry, and other personal items that hold sentimental value.

Your wedding day is a story that unfolds from the moment you wake up until you say "I do." Getting ready photos contribute to the storytelling aspect of your wedding album.
