Here are some tips to make sure you get the best shots possible:

• Talk to your photographer before the wedding and discuss your expectations and preferences for the portraits.

• Choose a location that has natural light and some interesting features, such as a window, a mirror, or a couch.

• Have some friends or family members with you to assist you and make you feel comfortable. Chat with them and enjoy the moment.

• Be mindful of the time and don’t let your makeup artist take too long. Their phone photos won’t do justice to your stunning look. You want your photographer to capture every detail and emotion.

• Pick a makeup artist who works well with your photographer and enhances your natural beauty.

Follow these tips and you’ll have amazing getting ready portraits that you’ll cherish forever.
