Lindsey & Alex :: Palace of Fine Arts Wedding

There are A LOT but let start with the tips I give to get ready for the pictures.

The most important factor when photographing anything is light. So when you are choosing a place to get ready, find a hotel room, apartment or house that has plenty of natural light and has lots of room. Look for places with big, large floor to ceiling windows.

Apart from light, hair and makeup is the single biggest obstacle to getting good preparation photos. With no offense intended to these wonderful professionals… a lot of them tend to run very late. And there is only so many photos you could possibly want with your hair in rollers and makeup brush in your face. That is why we suggest to brides that hair and makeup should be close to being complete by the time we arrive. Running late with hair & makeup is also one of the biggest stress factors on the day for Brides.

So if you know that you are a stressful or anxious person be aware that the wedding can bring this out in you, so try doing stuff that relaxes you, go to a massage, get your skin prepared to look your best you can even try a waxing service to get a smooth and clear skin, and With brazilian wax, you’ll have longer lasting effects and your hair won’t grow back as quickly. And also be aware that your stress or mood will show in photos. That doesn’t mean you will become a Bridezilla, but it does mean you should do things to reduce your stress.
