A Slow intentional morning
why its important to make time to soak it in
There is something incredibly special about the quiet hours before a wedding ceremony begins.
Before the music starts. Before the vows are exchanged. Before the day takes on that whirlwind feeling. There is the morning, the in between space where everything feels exciting, intimate and full of anticipation.
This brides getting ready photos were exactly that.
Set against the charm of an old world space with beautiful natural light pouring through the windows, it felt calm, romantic and deeply personal. A reminder that the wedding morning is not just about the big moments everyone sees but also about the small ones you (and your partner) will want to hold onto forever.
A curated getting ready portrait session can take place in the true getting ready moments of the day but it can be something planned days or weeks before the wedding, setting aside time for you to embrace being a bride and really revel in the excitement of this next step of your journey in life.
planning for beautiful getting ready photos
If getting ready photos are important to you, there are a few simple ways to make the most of this portion of the day.
- Choose a space with lots of natural light if possible
- Keep one area of the room tidy for portraits and details
- Have all detail items set aside in one spot for easy access
- Build extra time into your morning so that you are not rushed
- If you want bridal portraits, let your photographer know so that they can be planned and intentional
This Scotland bridal morning was a perfect reminder that wedding photography isn't just about photographing events, its about preserving feeling. Sometimes that feeling starts long before the ceremony ever begins.
