2. Wedding Bands!  Make sure you have ALL three bands with you 🙂

I know the best man wants to hold onto one of the rings, but it’s always easier to come to you in the bridal suite and grab all 3 of them for the detail images.  Since I love using natural light, I would love to all of them at the beginning of the detail shots and get them done 1st 🙂

3. Try sitting down in your dress before the wedding 🙂

This can be a little silly, but some brides can’t sit in their dresses either for bridals or dinner time!  I have had some bridesmaid dresses where they were too tight on me and I tried sitting for dinner and it was uncomfortable.  So try on your dress before your wedding and see if it’s comfortable to sit down for dinner!

4. De-clutter the room your getting ready in!

I find this one a BIG one 🙂 Have a place in your getting ready room where your bridesmaids can put their bags and anything extra they bring.  This will allow gorgeous images in the getting ready room, a clean place where you can get your beautiful gown on, and clear of distractions. Who wants images with bags, curling irons, makeup bags, and shows in their images 🙂

5. Dress Dirty? It’s OKAY! TRUST ME 🙂

I have seen brides’ dresses get dirty during their 1st look or during their bridal party images.  I totally understand if you are worry about it and you are afraid to walk down the aisle. Your afraid that people will notice it as you walk down. As I try my best to walk around the venue and choose locations that are not muddy or too dirty, it could happen where a little bit of dirt gets on it.  But, trust me, it’s okay 🙂 The tiny imperfections won’t show up in your images and you will look stunning in your wedding dress!  Please don’t let it stress you out! I am here to serve you on your wedding day and make sure your wedding day is what you envision 🙂

Joyfully,
