5 Tips To Make The Most Of Your Getting Ready Photos

Are you considering getting ready photography coverage on your big day? So much buzz and excitement happens during this part of the day! Maybe you want a lot of coverage or maybe just a little or maybe none at all - We’re happy with whatever you decide! - We want your Getting Ready coverage to be just right for you.

We can arrive at the tail end for finishing touches - adjusting your tie, putting on your veil or jewelry, plus a little fun with those in the room. Or we can start earlier and photograph all the details - your attire, shoes, invitation suite, etc. Then we’ll capture you getting dressed with the help of your most important people and end with some portraits. We recommend 60-90 minutes for full getting ready coverage while 30-45 minutes is usually just right for finishing touches coverage.
