Added some pics of HMUA and the gorgeous hotel we did the shoot at.
Outfit 1: wore a matching white bra and panty with floor length veil. I did choose to wear my wedding jewelry, wedding shoes and my wedding band in addition to my engagement ring - wish I had time to pick up some flowers!
Outfit 2: strappy black bra and panty with black pumps Outfit 3: lace booty shorts with a comfy shirt that says His Otter Half - gifting to him with his grooms gift experience, so it’s a surprise!
Outfit 4: rose gold colored lace and shine teddy
My tips for other brides:
I took the advice from other brides and got my makeup done. Best. Choice. Ever. Choose MAC and it turned out flawless.
Definitely check the weather! I would’ve gotten sugared the day before had I know how HOT it was plus I planned on walking around in Philly all day. Normally I don’t react but I was so hot and sweaty my underarms got irritated.
And on the weather note... drink water. Lots of water. But don’t eat or drink anything a couple hours before your shoot. I’m glad I did, I didn’t feel “water bloated”
Oh yeah, if you’re nervous have a drink! But keep it light - I stuck with champagne, cheers! All my salon appointments provided it complimentary so I was very chill all day.
Give yourself time. I had special circumstances coming from out of town so I booked my appointments back to back but getting my hair done (cut, color) I cut too it close to my MU appointment so then rushed to a blowout bar to style my hair in 30 mins!!
Most importantly HAVE A BLAST. Just let your body relax and get comfortable, your photographer will know what to do.
