John & Jess - Jess Getting Ready

I love the "getting ready" part of the wedding day - the air is filled with excitement & anticipation mixed with a little nervousness.  I don't even mind getting told to wait or move out of the way since the preparation seems to take longer than expected, especially for the women.  


It's good time to see all the little details - the colour of the lipstick, the beautiful hairpins that were carefully chosen to match the stunning dress.  And I love seeing everyone around to help (or trying!) to make it all come together in time. 

Steaming the dress!
