5 Must-Have Photos of Your Dress (BEFORE You Put it On!)

You spend countless hours shopping for just the right dress, so it’s only fitting to make sure “the one” is properly documented on the big day. You’ll get countless images IN your gown but it’s worth planning for the shots before you even slip it on. Forward to your photographer and you can thank us later!

The Getting Ready Shot

Show off that bridal glow the morning of your wedding with a photo holding your dress. You’ll want that as a moment to always remember and bonus points if you’ve got a cute robe worth capturing.

The Up Close Detail Shot

You agonized over choosing just the right dress, so make darn sure your photographer captures all the little details that make your gown so special. Intricate beading, antique lace – whatever the detail it’s worth a close-up.

The Classic Hanging Shot

This photo captures your gown in all its glory. Make sure you’ve got a simple, uncluttered backdrop and a pretty hanger on hand to set the scene just right.

Paired With Accessories Shot

A wedding dress makes quite the stunning backdrop to overlay with your shoes and accessories. It’s another opportunity to see the details of the gown and showcase how the full fashion look works together.

Paired With Bridesmaid Dresses Shot

You’ll surely be getting photos with your ladies in their gowns, but don’t forget to take an image of the dresses all hung in a row. Especially for the mismatched bridal party, this is a fun way to how complimentary gowns play off one another.
