The "Getting Ready" pics, Maura's Wedding

I really love capturing a bride getting ready and I wanted to highlight that in this blog and especially from this wedding. Yes, Maura is stunning, but she didn’t get ready in the “perfect Penthouse Suite” or some elaborately set-up room with amazing lighting. It was a fairly cramped hotel room with stuff on the bed and all the usual wedding accoutrements strewn around the room, and one window with light brightly streaming in. So, as always, you work with your location on wedding days and this meant quickly cleaning up the room enough to get some great shots.

She also didn’t want a ton of emphasis put on her getting-ready pics, so she was pretty much almost ready to go when I got there. We had a quick maybe 15 minutes to put together some beautiful images.

The getting ready pics I personally think are a great way to begin the story of your amazing day. So much effort goes into planning what dress you will have, what style of jewelry, what kind of veil, the shoes and so much more. This time is sometimes the only time to get great details of these special items and the moments that go into getting prepared for an amazing but brief wedding day.

I hope you like the photos. Let me know if you have any questions about how they were created.
