Male Photographer and getting ready

Is your boss a professional photographer? If so, I'm sure he's used to doing getting ready shots...

My photographer is a male, and all of us girls will be in robes. Honestly, I am not that concerned at all.

Obviously he won't be in the room when we are physically naked and actually getting changed

Yeah, I'm not concerned about it. My photographer is a guy as well. Basically, if you tell him when to photograph you, you eliminate any issues. He obviously won't be there when you're naked, but when you apply makeup or are doing your hair, etc.

Religious or not, as a professional photographer, second job or otherwise, I'm sure he has seen it all, including "getting ready" shots.

Mine was a man and I was in pjs and a robe in front of him. Then I put my dress on in the bathroom and I came out. If he is a professional, he should be used to this type of thing.

I would ask him to leave the room, then you and your BMs can put your dresses on, and then invite him back in for your mom to zip you up, lace you up, button you up, etc. That way you are covered, but you still get some shot of you "getting into" your gown.

We had a male photographer at my best friends wedding and he excused himself when it got down to putting the brides dress on. He came back in after & did some shots with us zipping her up, putting her jewelry on, and fixing her dress. The pro's know what to do, I think you will be fine.

Do the basis shots, detail shots then ask him to leave while you put your dress on. I'm sure he has done this before. He is your vendor so you should feel comfortable having frank conversations with him.

I was in a wedding last year with 2 male photographers. We got ready from 9 AM - 3 PM. The photographers arrived around 2 PM to take getting ready pictures of the guys & the girls. When he came into the bridal suite, we were in our robes but nothing was showing or inappropriate. He took some posed pictures then left, we put on the bride's dress and he came back in after it was on to show pictures of us buttoning it up (it had a corset). So he took "getting ready" photos but more ones of the bride's makeup and hair being done and us sitting around eating.

I have a male photographer and I definitely want getting ready pictures. He has an assistant who I think is a woman, so I think she might take over for lots of the getting ready stuff while he checks on the groomsmen.

Even if not, he's a professional and I won't be running around in my underpants. Any time I'm too stripped down, I'll be in the bathroom and then I'll step out for the zip-up and all that.

Mine is a man, but the second shooter is a lady. He will do the guys getting ready pics, and she will be with us.

You don't actually get undressed in front of the photographer for the "getting ready" pictures even if it was a woman. You are usually in your "getting ready" attire - a robe, pjs, button up/leggings, etc. and then when it is time to put your dress on the photographer leaves or you go in a separate room depending on how your room is set up. I had a bridal suite with a large bathroom that I went into with one of my bridesmaids to put my dress on. I had a female photographer. Everything is pretty modest so you shouldn't be too concerned about this.
