Daily Picture | Bridal portrait while getting ready

I love creating fun portraits. I love it when my client is at ease and having a laugh. They are already stressed about the wedding so why add more? It is more fun to chat about unimportant things and distract the bride and get her to relax a bit without resorting to alcoholic beverages. These moments always makes beautiful pictures.

I always love it when a wedding includes me photographing the preparations. The flurry of activities in one room would make one’s head to spin. Like when the bride’s family come around to see if they can help, sometimes it is emotional and sometimes they worry and other times there’s loads of laughter. The ooh-ing and ahhh-ing usually happens when the flower girls and page boys arrive , it continues with the wedding party. There’s the giggling when the brides gets in her dress and a hush when everything is in place.

It is a privilege to be there to capture these moments. When you just observe, it does not matter whether you have the latest and greatest camera in the world or not. So long as you got the picture of the moment, their choice of venue, their excitement and some details.

This bridal portrait was shot in Menzies Welcombe Hotel in Stratford upon Avon. This bride’s friends were trying to get to strike a pose.
