Introduction: Capturing those serene ‘getting ready’ moments on your wedding day is pure magic. As your dedicated #weddingphotographer, I believe these intimate preparations are just as crucial to your story as the vows themselves.

This beautiful image exemplifies the calm before the joyous celebration. Here, a young woman stands elegantly on a stone pathway, her light brown hair styled in loose curls framing her face. She wears an exquisite white dress with a V-neckline and short, embellished sleeves, the bodice shimmering with sequins. The flowing, sheer skirt adds a touch of ethereal beauty, perfectly complemented by a delicate necklace and bracelet. In her hands, a rustic bouquet of dried flowers provides a unique, natural accent. These fleeting moments, from the quiet reflections to the final touches, truly narrate your unique love story and are essential family heirlooms to be cherished for generations.
The Vision Behind the Shot
I captured this serene scene in Autumn, utilising my Canon EOS 90D with an EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. My artistic choice of an f/5.6 aperture ensured a lovely depth of field, drawing focus to the bride while gently blurring the background. A shutter speed of 1/250s was perfect for freezing any subtle movement, preserving the moment’s clarity, and the ISO of 200 kept noise levels to a minimum, ensuring pristine image quality. Shot at a focal length of 47.0mm, it provides a natural perspective, capturing the scene as the eye would see it without distortion. No flash was used, allowing the natural overcast light to create a soft, flattering ambiance that truly enhances the mood of the ‘getting ready’ phase.
