1. BRIDE’S GOWN HANGING ON A
DOOR
You found the perfect dress, and the big
day to wear it is finally here! Before you put
it on, have your photographer snap a few
shots of one of the most memorable dresses
you’ll ever wear.
It’s a still life of a moment you’ve
envisioned since you were a young girl. It’s
part of the fantasy.
2. BRIDE’S SHOES
The shoes are all about taste, choice and
elegance, and they’re an extension of the
dress. Metaphorically your shoes represent
stepping into a new life, but they’re
also so beautiful that they deserve to be
remembered.
3. THE FIRST LOOK
The tradition of the bride and groom not
seeing each other until the processional is
sweetly being ignored today. Now, couples
take a few minutes together right before
the walk down the aisle for a quick
hug and kiss, and a few declarations
of love.
You want to capture the emotional
moments of the day, and this is a
quintessential moment.
4. GROOM WATCHING BRIDE
WALK DOWN THE AISLE
Even if you had a first look, that moment
he sees you walking down the aisle is
worth capturing forever too. Don’t be
surprised if you start getting weepy when
you look at him looking at you.
