Creative Ideas for a Fun Pre-Wedding ‘Get Ready’ Photoshoot
Planning a fun pre-wedding “get ready” photoshoot can add joy and sentimentality to your wedding experience.
Just look at these stunning photos that Carri and her squad captured, thanks to Shalom Clapper Photography!
I can tell you that your wedding album wouldn’t be complete without some fun and creative get-ready photos of you and your bridal party.
So, if there is one thing you should do, add time to get these shots on your timeline.
It’s beautiful to see brides and bridesmaids collaborating closely with their wedding photographers in new ways to celebrate their special bond in fun settings.
From using playful props, rocking coordinated outfits, and capturing candid moments while helping the bride get ready, these photos are to die for.
I love that brides like Carri are finding unique ways to capture these special moments without having to do it on their big day when you are usually rushed.
With a planned photoshoot, you will feel relaxed and have fun with your girls.
These “get ready” photoshoots can also help you capture incredible photos while focusing on having genuine emotions and style with creativity.
Why Plan For a “Pre-Wedding ‘Get Ready’ Photoshoot
The morning of your big day is exceptional and is a great time to set up a moment when you and the girls get together to sip champagne and get your hair and makeup prepped.
I am sure you want to capture this special bonding time.
A planned photoshoot is an excellent way to capture the candid, behind-the-scenes moments often missed during the wedding day.
These genuine interactions are priceless, from the bride giggling with her bridesmaids to simply enjoying the day.
They provide a narrative of the anticipation and excitement leading up to the big moment, adding depth and emotion to your wedding photos.
A pre-wedding get-ready photoshoot also offers a relaxed environment where everyone can be themselves.
You want to have fun and enjoy some cute moments with your girls.
Unlike the big day’s formal poses and structured wedding timeline, a pre-wedding get-ready photoshoot allows for spontaneity and creativity.
The casual setting can help ease pre-wedding jitters, making everyone feel more comfortable in front of the camera.
And one of the main reasons these pre-planned photoshoots are enjoyable is the relaxed and intimate setting.
If you want a casual and fun vibe, I encourage you to speak to your photographer and schedule a photoshoot with you and the girls.
A photoshoot is also an excellent opportunity to include fun props, personalized robes, or matching outfits that reflect your personality and style.
Bonding With Your Girls Before Your Big Day
Pre-wedding photoshoots can serve as a bonding experience with your girls.
The time spent together preparing for the wedding can strengthen the connections among your bridal party.
With a pre-arranged shoot with your bridal squad, you will have more time to share laughs and stories and even shed a few tears, which can create enduring memories that you and your loved ones will cherish for years.
And remember, these photos can be used for various purposes, such as social media posts, a wedding slideshow, or even as part of your thank-you cards.
In essence, a fun pre-wedding get-ready photo shoot is not just about capturing beautiful images; it’s about celebrating the journey to your special day in a meaningful and memorable way.
This behind-the-scenes glimpse of pre-wedding photoshoots is one of my favourite photos.
When Carri posted her sneak peek photos in one of the wedding Facebook groups, I immediately reached out.
I wanted to share it with you.
Pre-wedding “get ready” photoshoots can be a lot of fun and offer a unique opportunity to capture the excitement and anticipation of the big day.
