One of my favorite times to shoot at a wedding is the "getting ready" part. Everything from the hair to to the shoes. I've shot brides brushing their teeth in 5 star hotels to brides having an obi tied on in an orchard by their Japanese grandmother. The time is always intimate and allows for some great story telling images. They are the simple moments, the natural human-ness of the brides and grooms before their big shining moment. In the hotel room, or orchard, away from the guests with close friends and family the brides and grooms are calm and relaxed (well, it may have something to do with the champagne too). They let their guard down and I can capture a little bit of who they are and the connections.
