Introduction: The hours spent getting ready before ‘I do’ are often filled with some of the most genuine emotion and anticipation of the entire wedding day. It’s a time of shared laughter, quiet reflection, and beautiful preparation. #WeddingPhotography
Main Content
This image captures a truly special moment: a radiant group of seven, including five elegant women in matching long-sleeved, sequined light green dresses and two delightful young girls in light pink and white dresses, standing together. Each person holds a beautiful bouquet of white flowers with green foliage, adding a touch of natural grace to their stunning attire. They are pictured in front of a charming brick building with a white door and window, under the warm glow of a sunny day, hinting at the bright day ahead.
The ‘Getting Ready’ phase is more than just putting on dresses and fixing hair; it’s a key chapter in your wedding story. It’s where the bonds between friends and family are evident, where excitement builds, and where the details you’ve meticulously planned come together. As a photographer, my aim is to document these moments authentically, capturing the feeling of anticipation and the love shared among your closest circle. From the intricate details of your dress and accessories to the heartfelt exchanges, these images become treasured memories.
The Vision Behind the Shot
I captured this beautiful group in front of the classic brickwork and white door to create a lovely, textured backdrop that complements their elegant dresses. The natural sunlight provided beautiful illumination, enhancing the sparkle of the sequins and bringing warmth to their skin tones. Framing the group against this setting allowed the focus to remain squarely on their expressions and connection.

Technical Approach
This photograph was taken using my Canon EOS 5D Mark III and the versatile Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens. I opted for a relatively shallow depth of field at f/2.8 to gently soften the background while keeping the group sharply in focus, allowing them to stand out beautifully. A shutter speed of 1/250s was ample to capture the moment clearly on a bright day, with ISO 100 ensuring clean, detailed images. The choice of the 70mm focal length helped to frame the group intimately within the scene.
