This photograph was taken during a getting ready at La Venta Inn wedding in Palos Verdes. Some of you may wonder if we stay in the room to photograph brides while they’re changing into their dress. The answer really depends on how comfortable the bride is with us. For the most part, we stay to capture any thing and everything. You never know when a great moment is going to happen. If we would’ve left the room, the photo above would have never happened. Yes, this is true for the groom too. The thing about photographing the getting ready is that sometimes it’s not the obligatory and mundane act of zipping up of the dress that makes the best photos; sometimes it’s the moments in between or after. Sometimes it’s the tears, laugher, and smiles in between that make for an awesome photograph.
With my style of photography, I do not re-enact the process of putting on the dress. Nor will I ask you to act out anything eles throughout the day. Moments I photograph are real moments which makes the photos more meaningful and powerful. This is just something for my Santa Barbara weddings and San Luis Obispo wedding brides to think about before they hire me or any other wedding photographers.
