Candid Bridal Prep Photography at Home

I started the day with bridal preparations at the couple’s home, always one of my favourite parts to photograph. It’s such a great way to tell the story of the day from the very beginning, with a lovely mix of anticipation, laughter and a few happy tears.

From quiet moments with family to bubbly fun with bridesmaids, I photograph these natural moments without any awkward posing — capturing the real atmosphere as it unfolds.

What’s Included in Bridal Prep Photography:

  • Relaxed candid moments with family and bridal party

  • Natural light hair and makeup photos

  • Personal details like flowers, jewellery and dress close-ups

  • Emotional first-look moments before heading to the church
