One of the main questions I get from my couples is, do they need getting ready photos for their wedding coverage. Without a doubt, my answer is always yes! Sometimes this part of the day can be overlooked, but it often produces some of my favourite images from the day. There are always so many emotions and reactions, that they happen so quickly and you miss them. "Getting ready" photos are so much more than just getting ready. They are your moments with family and closest friends before you walk down the aisle.
Keep reading for some reasons I always recommend getting ready photos for your wedding day photography coverage.
It helps tell the full story of the day
One of my main goals for your wedding photos, is that in ten years time you can look at them and remember how the day felt, not just how it looked. A big part of this, is being able to tell the whole story from start to finish. This would be getting ready with your nearest and dearest, and ending the night dancing away with your new husband/wife and all your loved ones.
Your wedding day goes by so fast, I always want you to have photos from the entire day so you can easily remember it for years to come.

It captures moments and emotions you might not see
So much is happening throughout your wedding day that it only makes sense you will miss some parts of it! Part of this is the moments and emotions happening all around you. Including getting ready photos in your coverage allows me to capture some of these moments so you can look back on them later.

Reactions from family and friends
Reactions from family and friends is also a big one! If you're having a lovely moment with your mom, you might miss your maid of honour looking on. I love being able to capture the love and emotions from your family and friends.

Great candid moments
There are also some great candid moments that happening during this part of the day that I always love being able to capture! The laughs and just joy that you experience during this time is always so great to photograph. It's so great to be able to share these moments with my couples when I deliver their final galleries. The emotions are so pure and natural that they always produce beautiful photographs.
