Presenting my Preparation photography, coupled with the stress, chaos, fun, and not to forget, emotion of getting ready!

Firstly, I love photographing this important part of your wedding day, as you can see from my photos. Also, I fit in well, with a calm manner, allowing me to capture the real story. In addition, I use available light, meaning no flash photos. Above all, I hope you enjoy this introduction to how I capture the getting ready emotions.

Not only do I capture little smiles like this one, sometimes I may ask the bride or others to look my way.

And without question, natural light is, of course always best for great photos.

Of course there are many ways to photograph the wedding dress, or wedding gown. Of course I will take photos in different places, giving you a good choice of what you prefer for you album or prints, etc.
