Introduction: The journey to ‘I do’ is filled with countless precious moments, none more intimate and anticipatory than the #GettingReady phase of your wedding day. As a wedding photographer, I believe these are the moments that truly set the tone, capturing the quiet excitement and tender preparations that precede the grand celebration.

Couples consistently express their desire to preserve these fleeting moments, ensuring they can relive every aspect of their day, creating cherished family heirlooms that stand the test of time.
The Vision Behind the Shot
Captured in autumn, this photograph highlights the meticulous process of bridal preparation. I used my Canon EOS 90D with an EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. The aperture of f/4.5 was chosen to create a beautifully shallow depth of field, drawing the viewer’s eye directly to the skilled hands of the makeup artist and the serene expression of the bride. A shutter speed of 1/200s was essential to freeze any subtle movements, while an ISO of 6400 allowed for clear, bright imagery even under ambient light conditions, without the need for flash. The 30.0 mm focal length provided a relatively wide field of view, allowing context within the intimate setting.

Technical Approach
My technical choices are always guided by the artistic vision for your day. For this shot, using the Canon EOS 90D allowed for excellent detail, and the EF28-135mm lens provided the versatility needed. The choice of f/4.5 ensured a lovely separation of subject from background, making the moment intimate and focused. A higher ISO of 6400 was a conscious decision to leverage natural light, maintaining the authentic mood of the getting-ready environment, rather than altering it with artificial flash.
