Shoot day is coming up! Follow this checklist we've put together to make sure everything is perfect.

1 Week Before

[ ] Try on and iron your outfits
[ ] Break in your shoes at home — new shoes can hurt
[ ] Prepare your accessories (veil, tiara, cufflinks, tie, etc.)
[ ] Check the weather forecast
[ ] Go over the final details with your photographer
[ ] Confirm your makeup artist appointment
[ ] Finalize your transportation plan

1 Day Before

[ ] Go to bed early — especially for morning shoots
[ ] Hang your outfits up so they don't wrinkle
[ ] Pack your accessories into a bag
[ ] Charge your phone
[ ] Prepare comfortable walking shoes
[ ] Prepare water and snacks
[ ] Sunscreen (matte formula) and lip balm

Shoot Morning

[ ] Have a light breakfast
[ ] Hair and makeup — start at the time agreed with your photographer
[ ] Finish your makeup before putting on your outfit
[ ] Don't forget your perfume (scent won't show in photos, but it'll help you feel your best!)
[ ] Relax — smile — this is your day!

Outfit Recommendations

Bride

Color: White, cream, champagne, blush
Fabric: Tulle, chiffon, lace — fabrics that move in the wind look stunning

Alternative: Also bring a second, shorter dress or a jumpsuit

Groom

Color: Navy, gray, beige, burgundy
Style: Slim-fit suit, vest detailing, tie or bow tie

What to Avoid
