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!
