When couples think about wedding photography, they often picture the big moments! Whether is walking down the aisle, exchanging vows, or the first dance. But one of the most important parts of the day that often gets overlooked is getting ready with your closest friends and loved ones! Honestly it's one of the most meaningful and storytelling rich parts of the day to capture.

What Is Getting Ready Coverage?


Typically getting ready coverage is the time I spend with you and your bridal party documenting all the moments leading up to your ceremony. It's everything from details of your dress, slipping on your dress, the final touches of make up, and the candid moments with your loved ones getting ready with you!


Why It Matters


This time of day is filled with anticipation, excitement, and emotions you don't want to forget. There's something incredibly special about having photos of your mom zipping up your dress, you and your best friend laughing, or your sister helping you with your veil. These moments are real and raw, they deserve to be remembered just as much as your first kiss or dance.


A Mix Of Candids and Portraits


Getting ready coverage allows me to capturer a mix of candid moments and detail shots! While the detail shots are stunning, its truly the unscripted moments of hugging your mom after she buttons up your dress, or having a toast with your bridesmaids! These moments are the ones that become the most treasured.


Your Story From Start To Finish


Your wedding day isn't just a series of big events, it's a story. That story starts the moment you begin getting ready. Capturing this part of the day adds so much depth to your gallery! Also it lets you remember not just what happened, but how you felt! When you are looking back at your wedding photos years from now, these getting ready images will transport you back in the moment, excitement, nerves, and joy of those first hours!
