-Keep everything in one place. Shoes, dress, etc.
-Look for the light and remember to keep your face towards it.
-Get ready at the same location (If you’re not able to, consider hiring a second photographer so the behind-the-scenes moments before “I Do” are not missed).
-Keep all your messy things in one area or corner.
-Get robes! Robes add a touch of class to “getting ready” looks, and make it less likely for you to interfere with completed hair and makeup looks.
-Keep in mind if your gown or your bridesmaids dresses are strapless – bra straps can leave marks on the skin that will be noticeable in photos. Consider making appropriate adjustments to avoid this prior to putting on the dress.
-A custom hanger will look 10x better than what the dress came with.
-The bridal party doesn’t have to be 100% ready for the first look, you do.
-Have your hair and makeup artist be the first done so they can clean up first and have your space clean. Clean rooms will always make the best images.
