The Bridal Party getting ready

It takes all day to look this good! From the moment the bridesmaids and groomsmen wake up on your wedding day the fun starts. For the girls – make up artists, hairdressers and family are all gathered around to make it the most special day ever. Many crack open a bottle of bubbly early and let the games begin! Have your photographer arrive a few hours early to capture the fun.

And lets not forget the groomsmen. Whilst it doesn’t take the men quite as long to get ready, there is still plenty of photo opportunities and time to check they are looking sharp.

The big moment – putting your wedding dress on…..these gowns can be seriously complicated with zippers, corsets, buttons & loops, so luckily you have your bridesmaids to style you. Another great photo opportunity and heartfelt moment between a bride and her maids.

The Location Shots with Bridal Party

Once the wedding ceremony is over, everyone can relax. The best man kept the rings safe, your maid of honour fluffed your train and held your bouquet. The official jobs are almost over (apart from speeches) so enjoy these hilarious moments as the whole bridal party wanders your chosen location for photos.
