    I didn't want them either but my photographer says it's her favourite part of the day to shoot and she thought I'd regret it if I didn't. Then she offered me a free 'post wedding dress shoot' if I let her photograph the prep so I agreed. lol

    Yeah i kind of thought a storybook might look odd without the first "chapter" as such!
    And i really love the storybooks and we are hoping to have one.
    My other post talks about photographers etc and what we are after.
    Basically we dont want any staged/posed photos and would like a real natural feel of quality photos rather than quantity.
    Im wondering then if i would pic a photo of my shoes/dress/etc to have in the storybook?
    It is SO confusing and tricky to decide!!!

    i hate having my picture taken to the point of i delete or bin any of me. i have spoken to the photographer and most of my shots are going to be reportage and he said i wont notice him taking them will have as little posed photos as i can get away with. I'm also have a pre-wedding shoot to get use to him taking my picture.

    Would a storybook album look odd without Bridal Prep photos at the start?

    This is kind of different (ish!)
    The focus will be FULLY on me in these shoots and im not sure i would want to compromise other photos from the day for bridal prep photos. Am i making sense?
    BUT would a storybook album look odd with no Bridal prep at the beginning?

    I didn't have the photographer taking photos when we were getting ready ... but with 5 of us plus the hair & make up people it would have been a bit crowded xx

    I want to yes and no, reading the comments, people want natural posing pictures none of the 'cheese' smiles. maybe get some of you from the side while getting your hair done, one of a glass of champers, x

    Good ideas
    Maybe have them done and then decide after, best of both worlds then i think
    Although there will be quite a few of us in the room!
    MelN, did you regret not having them?

    I'm the same, am not having any getting ready pics. If i'm honest I don't really like a lot of them, the ones of the dress hanging up and close ups of shoes and things are really nice, but not the ones of people actually having their make-up done. xx

    I am having the photographer coming here, but will try to have him take photos of other people getting ready as well, not just me, as I hate feeling like i am the center of attention, and I guess I will feel like this all day long.

    I hate having my picture taken and all the fuss that goes with and never like any pics with me in. However I am having prep pics done, but only because the photographer is someone I know and trust so I won't feel uncomfortable otherwise I don't think I would have them. If I don't like them they don't have to go in the album!

    I couldnt imagine not having the bridal prep tbh. Me n h2b arent that traditional so before the bridal prep were actually having a shoot just the two of us in normal clothes on the morning of the wedding - a bit like our final pictures before becoming man and wife! and then doing bridal AND groom prep.

    Really excited about it, i think its worth doing :-) xXx

    I hate being photographed but I do think there's something special about those prep photos - the anticipation and excitement in everyone's faces is lovely. And I like when they're taken informally rather than posed ones where everyone has a grin plastered on their face!

    Ooooh spanner in the works for me! I thought no to prep photo's - the camera doesnt like me when I've got my full face on, never mind sitting waiting for it to be put on BUT I do love looking at the prep pics other people have had done.... hmmm! Thing is, I'm thinking of going to a salon and getting hair and make up done for us there so not entirely sure how they pics would work anyway. My dad was going to take some pics etc but he's already going to be stressed with everyone there... I'm not sure now! x

    That's a point - would be a bit odd having photographer in hair salon! But then maybe lots of people do that, you never know!

    I am not photogenic at all but I think if I was having a photographer I would like to have the getting ready photos. So I have voted yes. xx
