Are you taking "getting ready" pictures?

Lynnie, on April 11, 2018 at 16:43 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 23

Are you asking your photographer to come early to take pictures of you and your wedding party getting ready together?

I always love these pictures and think they can be some of the cutest photos from the wedding day! All the candid shots of you interacting with your wedding party and zoomed in detail pictures are so cool. Smiley heart

    100% am we have two photographers for the whole day one going with the groom/smen and one with the bride/maids I know that's not the most important part of the day but I don't wanna miss a thing and want to be able to look back on the whole day

    We're only going to have one photographer, so I'm going to get a male family member to snap some photos of the guys getting ready. The photographer will be with the bridal party. I don't really care about the make-up/hair photos... so it will be more like the last 30 minutes, from robes to dresses, post-glamour session.

    100% for sure! I bought those traditional floral bath robes for all of my girls mainly for getting some photos in them!

    We had a few but I wasn't really all that concerned about having any. I didn't see the point in having them really.

    We are only taking getting ready pictures of the bridal party. We only have one photographer and are getting ready in two places. I love the getting ready photos Smiley smile.

    Yup! Our photographer is going to be there for about 30 minutes with the groomsmen, and about an hour with the girls. We have specifically found a location to get ready that the photographer can jump easily between the two groups, but my fiancé and I won't see each other.

    I love the "Getting Ready" photos, they capture the moments where the nerves and excitement are rolling in. Unfortunately with the time of our wedding and the distance of where the groom is getting ready we can't get any photos of him getting ready. I have a pretty good DSLR camera so I am going to leave it at the house and hopefully some of the groomsmen can get some pics.

    My plan was to capture some getting ready photos. I think my photographer captured some, but she arrived a little late. I know we definitely got shots of me getting into my dress and helping with my shoes, but not hair and makeup, which is fine.

    We're doing some but not a whole lot! She's arriving as my make-up will be finishing and then some details shots. A few of us before we put our dresses on but for the most part I want pictures of us dressed up!

    I didn’t really want them at first but our videographer says that they start with us getting ready so that the video transitions nicely which makes sense. My photographer will probably show up when I’m ready to get into my dress.

    If we had our photographer for the whole day, sure. Since we only have our photographer for so many hours, we’re choosing to utilize the time by skipping the “getting ready” shots.

    We have our photographers for the whole day so we figured why not! They usually turn out super cute and I love capturing all the fun and special moments

    I’m definitely getting some getting ready photos! I love these pictures! I bought my bridesmaids some robes so we can get some really great matching photos.

    We're taking SOME. I figure if I'm getting my hair and make up done, I'd rather have it done BEFORE the pictures. So our photographer will take pictures of us putting shoes/dresses on and that sort of getting ready.
