The Secret to Stress-Free Getting Ready Photos

Your wedding morning sets the tone for the entire day, and let’s be real…those getting ready photos? They’re a vibe. But a cluttered, chaotic space can quickly turn dreamy moments into a visual mess….Want that effortless, elegant look in your photos? Here’s how to prep your space like a pro!

Choose a Naturally Well-Lit Space

Light is everything in photography! If possible, get ready in a room with big windows and plenty of natural light. This will create soft, flattering tones and make your photos feel bright and airy!!!

Declutter Before Hair & Makeup Begins

Suitcases, plastic water bottles, snack wrappers, and random bags…these can sneak into your photos if you’re not careful. Before your photographer arrives, do a quick clean-up. Keep the space tidy by designating a “clutter corner” for personal items.

Keep Your Details Together

Your photographer will likely start with flat lay photos of your wedding details…rings, invitations, perfume, shoes, etc. Keep everything in one spot (like a cute box or basket!) so nothing gets lost in the morning rush.

Match Your Getting Ready Outfits to the Aesthetic

Your pre-ceremony photos will look even more polished if you and your bridal party wear coordinated getting-ready outfits. Think: matching robes, chic PJs, or neutral tones that complement your wedding colors!!

Minimize Background Distractions

Wherever you sit for hair and makeup, make sure the background is clean and uncluttered. A simple chair near a window with a neutral wall behind you is THE DREAM! Bonus points if there’s a mirror nearby for those dreamy reflection shots.

Sip, Smile & Soak It All In

The best getting ready photos capture real moments…laughter, happy tears, and pure excitement. Keep a calm, positive energy in the room, sip some water (or champagne!) and soak in the sweet magic of the day!🥂

Prepping your space for getting ready photos doesn’t take much effort, but the results? Oh, they are SO worth it! Imagine looking back at your wedding album and seeing dreamy, magazine-worthy shots that feel effortlessly elegant. ✨ With just a little prep, you’ll create a space that’s not only photo-friendly but also makes your morning feel calm, fun, and totally unforgettable. So grab a mimosa, take a deep breath & let’s make some magic happen! 📸🥂
