The getting ready time before the couple sees each other all done up in wedding clothes for the first time is one of our favorites. For a documentary styled shooter, it presents everything… soaring emotion, movement, a roll of the dice for scene and light, and a challenge to capture layers. Here’s an image created from a recent such time at the beautiful Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, where we are honored to be one of their featured vendors. The bride is looking in the mirror for last second adjustments as the groom waits out on their room deck to see her.
