Why You Should Say Yes To Bridal Preparation
I am a North Yorkshire-based wedding photographer, and this is my view as a wedding photographer, on bridal prep coverage.
I was speaking to a lovely couple the other day, who were booking me, as their wedding photographer, they weren’t sure if they really wanted wedding preparation photos. Brides in particular don’t fancy the idea of photos when they’re getting ready. No makeup and your hair in rollers aren’t really anyone’s idea of beautiful wedding photography right, I feel these photos, are very important, keep reading and I can explain why.
Your wedding preparations photos are to make and give you photographs you will love and treasure in years to come and relive every moment, with your closest friends and family. My photography offers you a natural and candid documentary style of your day. Grooms are less likely to have preparation photos than brides but this doesn't mean you have to be the same as everyone who decides to do it, i haven't been told by anyone that they regret it, but most who don't do wish they said yes to the preparation coverage. The best man is panicking about losing the rings and making sure he knows his speech inside out or is writing it there and then, last minute!
Bridesmaids are practising their slow walk across the bedroom wearing slippers. Mums are wondering if they should have got the higher heels and which of their two hats goes best with their mother-of-the-bride outfit. Dads are about to see their beautiful little girl in a wedding dress for the first time and are thinking about the moment that is happening shortly, yes giving them away. It’s always better to have them than wish later on that you did, after all, you can't recreate them.
I love catching moments from the day and when the couples look at their photos for the first time they don't realise so much happened that they didn't know about. As well as capturing small details easily forgotten over time. Some parts of your wedding day are easily forgotten. Pretty much most weddings are a very busy time and believe it or not it goes so quickly too. Maybe you have a gift to open or you are giving one, and you would like to have seen the emotion on their face when they opened the gift. This is why I love capturing the moment as it happens and seeing the real emotion. Your wedding photos should always bring you back to that moment and re-live your wedding with happy tears, and laughter because it’s the happiest day of your life.
It's an amazing thing that I love to do and being part of anyone's wedding day, I love as a photographer to document it as much as possible, anyone's wedding whether it is in North Yorkshire, Northumberland or anywhere else, I love to travel so location is never a problem. I am so lucky to have so many great wedding venues, on my doorstep but love to find and visit others too.
If you’re planning on having a wedding in North Yorkshire or anywhere else in the beautiful UK, then please get in touch. I’d love to hear all about your plans and have the opportunity to document your wedding in my beautiful, relaxed but fun style.
