Starting Early

I just love this veil shot of Jessica getting ready. One of her bridesmaids was helping her with her shoes and she titled her head downwards. The window light is also perfect. I really do like to arrive early to take photos of the bride getting dressed. It's great to warm up before the wedding day craziness occurs, and since there is so much preparation going on, it's a wonderful opportunity for really candid shots.  Depending on the itinerary, I may suggest that the bride wait to put her veil on until after we do shots with the bridesmaids (sometimes it can be a bit to deal with) but in Jessica's case, we were heading right for the church.
