Getting the best wedding prep photographs

Try and choose a room with as much space as you can and lots of natural light to get ready in (hair and makeup will thank you for this too) and keep bags & cases to a minimum or out of the way. This room at Pendrell Hall is perfect!

wedding details

Have your details – shoes, jewellery, perfume, flowers and anything else special to you – ready and I’ll get started on photographing those when I arrive.
