Pre wedding pictures
What do they add?
Pre-wedding and getting-ready photos capture some of the most meaningful, intimate moments of your day… the quiet excitement, the laughter with your closest people, the final touches before saying “I do.”
These photos tell the beginning of your wedding story, preserving the details that might otherwise be forgotten: the dress hanging in the morning light, a handwritten note, your best friend helping with jewelry, or the emotion in your parents’ faces.
They add depth and emotion to your full gallery, making your wedding album feel complete and authentic, not just a collection of posed images, but a story that shows the full journey from anticipation to celebration.

You get meaningful, candid moments. The laughter, nerves, hugs, gift-giving, and quiet in-between moments before the ceremony often become your most emotional photos.
