“Bride Prep” - My favourite part of a wedding….

It seems to  be a standard part of any  wedding day. “Bride prep” normally kicks off the day for the photographer and the Wedding party. This is a ceremony within a ceremony. A group  affirmation and bonding between “The Entourage” – an extended group  of the brides close family and bridesmaids. There is ritual, reminiscence, bonding and a bit of relaxation despite all of the activity. I think this is one of the favourite parts of my day as well. I don’t need to  rush  around after people, I’m just in  one place and I can choose my shots at leisure to  show the bride and her retinue in  the best  light and get  some great portraits. It is the one part of the day where I can choose to  be “artistic”.
