Aim for♡ A Slightly Unusual Getting Ready Shot!
Capture the bride during her final preparations in the bridal room before the ceremony, putting on her dress and makeup*
This moment, just before the wedding begins, can capture the beautiful tension of the occasion♡
Such getting ready shots typically include:
- Applying lipstick
- Putting on earrings (or piercings)
- Wearing bridal shoes
- Putting on the veil
These compositions are standard.
However, while browsing Instagram, I discovered many brides who are captured in slightly unusual getting ready shots that go beyond the standard♡
So this time, I'll introduce ways to take non-traditional getting ready shots, so please include them in your instructions*
Unusual Getting Ready Shot ① The Moment of Putting on Gloves
Are you planning to wear hand gloves during the ceremony???
If so, it's highly recommended to capture the moment you’re putting on the gloves*
Let’s take both a close-up version and a full-body version!♡
Unusual Getting Ready Shot ② The Hands Take Center Stage...!
The shot of putting on earrings is a classic,
but this wedding photo features the bride's hands in focus*
The engagement ring and wedding ring shine beautifully! A getting ready shot where the hands take center stage is quite rare♩
Unusual Getting Ready Shot ③ The Moment of Buttoning Up
For brides who have chosen a wedding dress with a covered button design on the back,
let’s capture the moment when a stylist is buttoning them up one by one♡
Of course, brides with a lace-up ribbon style can also have a beautiful shot taken while tying the ribbons*
Unusual Getting Ready Shot ④ Directly Looking at the Camera!
When taking getting ready shots, it’s usually the norm to divert your gaze from the camera and look down or to the side*
However, as shown by this bride, it’s also cute to take a photo while looking directly at the camera while putting on earrings♡
You might be able to capture your favorite shot♩
Unusual Getting Ready Shot ⑤ A View from a Distance, Showing Your Back
Capturing the bride from a little distance, showing her back as she puts on earrings in front of a mirror is quite rare*
The antique-style dresser, decorations, and chandelier reflected in the mirror all add to the charm♡
The atmosphere feels like a scene from a fairy tale♩
Unusual Getting Ready Shot ⑥ Practicing the Walk
Once the bride’s preparations are perfectly complete, many brides seem to practice their walk toward the ceremony*
Capturing the moment when she receives instructions on how to walk from the staff can also be beautiful♡
Looking back later at this moment, you can reminisce about how nervous you were, or how excited you were to walk down the aisle◎
In Short, Have a Variety of Getting Ready Shots Taken♡
I’ve introduced ways to capture slightly unusual getting ready shots beyond the standard angles*
Brides about to experience their weddings may feel nervous before the ceremony,
but to vividly remember every moment later, it’s recommended to have various getting ready shots taken♡
May you capture wonderful getting ready shots!
