When it comes to wedding photos, the getting-ready shots are some of my favorites. It's a time when the bride and groom are surrounded by their loved ones, all of whom are helping to get them ready for their big day.

But sometimes, in the excitement of the moment, things can go a little bit... messy. Water bottles and trash can pile up in the background, and before you know it, your beautiful getting-ready shots are ruined.

But don't worry - there's a solution! All you need to do is follow these simple tips:

- Keep it clean! Make sure that all of the trash and clutter is hidden out of sight.

- Put water bottles in designated corners or on the floor.

- Champagne glasses and bottles are OK - in fact, they can make for some great shots!

With these tips in mind, you'll be able to capture beautiful getting-ready photos without any distractions. So relax and enjoy your time with family and friends - I'll take care of the rest!

As a NYC/NJ/Boston wedding photographer, I am often asked what the secret is to taking great getting-ready photos on a wedding day. And while there are many factors that go into taking beautiful photos, there is one thing in particular that I always make sure to do. Read on to find out what it is!

Before I even pick up my camera, I take the time to get to know my couples and their bridal party. This helps everyone feel more comfortable around me and also allows me to capture more natural moments. I ask about special traditions that might be happening on the big day so that I can be sure to document them.

The little things are what make a getting-ready photo truly special. I make sure to capture all of the details, from the bride's dress hanging up and her shoes peeking out from under the hem, to the cufflinks being put on by the groom and his best man. It's these types of details that will help tell the story of your wedding day and that you'll want to look back on for years to come.

To really capture the feeling of getting ready on your wedding day, I like to take both wide shots and close-ups. wide shots show all of the activity going on and help give a sense of all the excitement in the room, while close-ups allow you to see all of the emotions being felt by both the bride and groom as they get ready for their big day.

If you're looking for great getting ready photos on your wedding day, following these three tips will help you get some amazing shots that you'll treasure for years to come!
