Alright, so you wanna know about them “bride getting ready photos,” huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t just about snapping a picture. It’s about catchin’ all them special moments before the big show, ya know, the wedding and all that.
First off, what’s the bride gonna wear while she’s gettin’ all dolled up? I’ve seen them fancy magazines, they talk about “robes” and “slip dresses,” sound mighty uncomfortable if ya ask me. Back in my day, we just wore somethin’ comfy, ya know, somethin’ we could move around in. But these young folks, they like to be all matchy-matchy. The bride, she’ll wear white, somethin’ like what them bridesmaid gals are wearin’, but fancier, I reckon. That way, the pictures look all nice and put-together, like a proper Sunday dinner spread.
Now, what kinda pictures are we talkin’ about? Well, there’s the obvious one, the bride gettin’ her makeup done. Powderin’ her nose, puttin’ on that lipstick, makin’ sure her eyelashes ain’t stuck together. That’s important, gotta look your best for them pictures, ain’t that right?
- And then there’s the dress. Oh, the dress! That’s a whole thing in itself. Gotta get pictures of the bride puttin’ it on, her mama helpin’ her button it up, all that jazz. It’s a big moment, ya know, seein’ her all dolled up in that white dress. Makes ya wanna cry, it does.
- Then they got these “letter readin’” pictures. The bride and groom, they write each other letters, sayin’ all mushy stuff, I guess. And the photographer, they snap a picture of ’em readin’ it, tears streamin’ down their faces. It’s kinda sweet, I gotta admit.
- And the gifts! Can’t forget about the gifts. The bride and her girls, they give each other little presents, somethin’ to remember the day by. And of course, gotta get a picture of that too. Everything’s gotta be a picture these days, I swear.
And don’t forget about the family! Gotta get pictures with the mama, the daddy, the sisters, the brothers, the whole darn clan. They all wanna be in the pictures, showin’ off how proud they are of the bride. It’s a family affair, after all.
They also do this thing called a “first look.” Sometimes it’s with the daddy, sometimes it’s with the bridesmaids, sometimes it’s even with the groom, though I don’t quite understand why they do that before the ceremony, seems like it would ruin the surprise to me, but hey, what do I know? Anyways, it’s the first time they see the bride all done up, and the photographer, they capture that moment. It’s supposed to be real emotional, ya know, lots of huggin’ and cryin’.
And of course, you gotta get pictures of the bride lookin’ all pretty, just her, by herself. A real nice portrait, somethin’ she can hang on her wall and show her grandkids someday. Gotta make sure the lightin’ is good, the background ain’t cluttered, and she’s smilin’ real pretty. It ain’t easy, takin’ these pictures, lemme tell ya.
But it ain’t just about the bride. The bridesmaids, they gotta get in on the action too. Pictures of them helpin’ the bride with her dress, pictures of them all laughin’ and gigglin’, pictures of them just bein’ silly. It’s all part of the fun, ya know.
And then there’s the waitin’ pictures, the ones where the bride is just sittin’ there, all ready to go, waitin’ for the ceremony to start. She might be lookin’ out the window, or fiddlin’ with her bouquet, or just takin’ a deep breath. It’s a quiet moment, a peaceful moment, before all the craziness begins.
So, yeah, that’s pretty much it. “Bride gettin’ ready photos,” they call ’em. It’s a whole lotta fuss, if ya ask me, but I guess it’s important. It’s a way to remember the day, all the little moments, all the emotions. And when you look back at them pictures years later, you’ll smile and remember how happy you were. Or at least that’s what they tell me. Seems like a lot of work to me though.
And don’t forget the shoes! Gotta get a picture of them shoes, all sparkly and new. And the jewelry too! The earrings, the necklace, the bracelet, all that bling. It’s all part of the look, ya know.
So there ya have it, a whole bunch of stuff about “bride gettin’ ready photos.” Hope that helps ya understand it all a little better. It’s a lot different from when I got hitched, let me tell ya, we just had one photo and that was it!
