Wedding Guide - How to get ready for the arrival of the photographer or videomaker?
Introduction
In the years of activity that we have as a photo studio in the wedding sector, many have led us to think about putting in writing some suggestions for the bride and groom to apply on the wedding day before the arrival of the photographer or videomaker and throughout the day to be more relaxed. Then let's also remember that receiving some advice is always good :)
Preparation
Groom
Groom preparation is a part of the service that takes about 30 minutes. The groom is invited to be ready with a shirt and pants. What can you do besides this?
Make sure that the rooms where the photos will be taken are well taken care of.
The room where you will get ready must be tidy.
Organize personal items.
Remove any annoying items that might appear in photos or videos.
Find a bright window so you can make the best use of natural light.
Bride
The preparation of the bride takes more time and may take up to 2 hours. The photo or video shoot will start when the bride is in the final phase of the makeup. You too, dear bride, you can prepare a few things before the arrival of the photographer or videomaker:
Organize well the room where you will get ready. In many cases the makeup room is also the preparation room, so try to find a bright room already when the make up artist arrives.
If you can, avoid using artificial light produced by lamps, ringlights, etc.
Check that there is enough space for everyone at the time of preparation.
Cerimony
How to make this moment less tense?
For the entrance of both take the right time, walk slowly and look around there are your friends, family and closest relatives who will smile at you. Even if it will be difficult to be super relaxed don't worry that no one is chasing you!
When the ceremony is over, if you want, call the people you want to take some pictures with all together.
Remember that if friends, family and relatives want to take some photos with you, once you arrive at the location there will be plenty of time to take them calmly.
Couple Shooting
This is the moment that you will devote entirely to you two only. It is usually carried out at the location of the restaurant. Consider that if you want to move you have to take into account the movements. Generally this phase can last about 30 minutes up to a maximum of 1 hour. Oh and don't forget that it's time to express your love in a natural way for each other, why not even having fun :)
Conclusion
Remember that it's your special day, relax and enjoy every moment. The photographer or videomaker will be there to capture the most exciting moments, so focus on your partner and the emotions you will feel that day.
Thank you dear newlyweds for reading this mini guide ;)
