When it comes to their wedding, couples want to remember each moment of their day – from getting ready up to their ceremony and reception. It’s their dream come true after all! A great way to ensure this happens is to have as many photos taken as possible. It is already a given that pictures captured during the ceremony and reception should be amazing but what about those taken in the preparation hours before your ceremony. Here are some tips for you to have phenomenal shots before the big “I do.”

PREPARE YOUR PREPARATION ROOM

For your wedding preparation shots to look beautiful, it is important that your setting helps you achieve this. You should have a clear room that’s free from clutter and well-lit. These elements are essential for any Ottawa wedding photographer and can make a huge difference to the success of the getting ready photos.

SHOW OFF YOUR WEDDING OUTFITS AND ACCESSORIES

Snap the lovely details of your outfit and the accessories that you will use. This is an excellent opportunity to display your dress’s lace features or unique bow and all the other additional elements you will be using or wearing.

PLAN YOUR OUTFIT TO GET READY IN

Express your personality by donning cute pajamas or elegant sleepwear before getting into your wedding attire.

SNAP A PICTURE OF YOU GETTING INTO YOUR ATTIRE

It is such an incredible moment, so capture that magical act of putting on your dream gown or suit in photos. It will be a great reminder of the happiness and anticipation that you felt at the time.

SET ENOUGH TIME FOR FORMAL PORTRAITS

It is best to allocate enough time for the session so that you will have many wedding preparation shots, and this is most important for formal portraits. Check the timeline to avoid running behind schedule.

CAPTURE GENUINE INTERACTIONS

Ask for candid photos of everything that is going on. It’s a lovely idea to photograph everyone’s reaction upon seeing the couple in their wedding attire for the first time and these shots can be truly memorable.
