Our job as your MUAH Team is to have you and your group beautify and set a relaxing vibe for your wedding day to unfolds. Your wedding day story begins not at the ceremony but the moment you start getting ready, so there are a few tips we always give our clients to prepare for their big day.

Keep The Rooms Clean

Keep both the bride’s and the groom’s room clean and have the room made by the hotel staff prior to the photo/video start time.   This helps eliminate the possibility of having any obtrusive objects in the background or needing to take time away from photographer to tidy up.  Also, a freshly made bed allows the photographer to use it for fun poses.

Have All the Details Ready

The bride should have all the details (dress, rings, shoes, etc.) in one spot.  Having all of these items together allows for the photographer to easily photograph all of your important details in one place instead of having to gather the items from separate locations.

Use a Decorative or Custom Hanger 

Have a nice hanger for the wedding dress so that your dress won’t have to be displayed on a less-than-beautiful, default plastic hanger.  Many nice hotels have wooden hangers for us to use, but some don’t. it’s always better to be prepared if that dress shot is important to you.

Brides First for Makeup and Hair

For the brides, please have your makeup and hair done first to avoid the risk of running late.  This is very important because if your makeup and hair are not finished on time, this will cut into your photography time and will decrease the amount of images your photographer will be able to shoot and deliver.

Keep the Number of People Low

Too many people in the room can add stree to the day.  Beside bridesmaids, immediately family members, or those that are getting makeup and hair services, everyone else should wait until later in the day to hang out with you.

Have Immediately Family Around

THis is a great opportunity to get some intimate pictures with your parents or your sibilings.  This is also a great time to have a “first look” between the bride and her mother and father.

Give Photographer Enough Time

As you can see from our Ideal Wedding Timeline, photographer would probabaly need around 1 hour of time fo the details and prep.
