The morning of the groom is a completely new and unexplored topic for our readers. Most resources and specialized publications pay attention only to the preparation of the bride, completely forgetting that a wedding is a celebration of two people. Men are also worried and worried on the eve of the holiday. Therefore, we cannot agree with such injustice and deprive grooms of the joy of pre-wedding preparations. In today's article we will tell you everything about what the groom's pre-wedding morning should look like and how best to organize his photo shoot.

The subjects of the photo shoot can be the final stages of dressing: fastening cufflinks, jacket buttons, tie, bow tie, watch. If there is a support group of friends, then you can also involve them. You can complete your morning shoot with a beautiful portrait of the groom completely ready to meet the bride.

Usually, less time is allocated for a photo shoot of the groom getting ready than for a photo shoot of the bride's morning. Therefore, it is important to quickly take beautiful photographs. To do this, the photographer must have prepared effective lighting schemes and poses for the photo shoot.

Painting in the registry office
If you decide to carry out the official painting and exit registration on the same day, a trip to the registry office together can be a great start to the day! Let the guests arrive at the wedding at the beginning of the ceremony, and this morning will be only yours!
WEDDYWOOD PARTNERS
Things to consider:
- • Clear timing. It is extremely important to take into account possible traffic jams, delays at the registry office and other force majeure situations, so as not to be late for your own ceremony. If possible, reduce the number of trips: if the wedding venue is located outside the city, then after the painting it is better to head there immediately, rather than travel around the city in search of beautiful locations for a photo shoot.
- • Choose stylish images for painting. Of course, you can go to the registry office in jeans, but why not come up with something more interesting? If your wedding and your holiday look are classic, then going to the registry office is a great opportunity to try on something more original and bold.

Wedding image of the groom
Boutonniere - it is usually ordered along with the bride’s bouquet. Attached to the lapel of a jacket using a special pin. Depending on the flower, the boutonniere may have a compact capsule with liquid, so it will stay fresh longer.
Hairstyle
Go to the hairdresser a month before the wedding. Tell the stylist that you are planning a wedding soon and you want such and such a hairstyle. The hairdresser will cut your hair, creating the desired image, and on the eve of the wedding, he will do the main wedding hairstyle.
Tie
There are several options for a tie - wide, narrow, short. Also a butterfly or a neckerchief. If you have chosen a tie, choose a clip for it; it should be the same style as the cufflinks, if any, in the groom's outfit.
Shoes
Shoes must be broken in before the wedding. Walk around the house in them in your free time.
Manicure
Be sure to get a manicure, because your hands will be photographed close-up with wedding rings.
Costume
Often, photographers or videographers advise: not black. And there is a technical explanation for such recommendations - too wide a range of brightness between the bride’s white dress and the groom’s black suit. But if you really want to, then you can. Choose what you like and matches the image of the bride.
The shirt should be harmoniously combined in texture and color with the suit. Sleeves can end with buttons or stylish cufflinks.
Socks
Buy good socks based on their color and texture.
Handkerchief
It can come in handy and help you out at the right time (for example, after you bite into a traditional loaf of salt...).
Glasses
If you wear glasses, choose stylish frames that will complement your overall wedding look.

Wedding morning option without bride price
If you decide not to carry out the ransom, you will thereby save approximately 1.5 hours, which can be spent on sleep, because getting enough sleep before the wedding is very important; it’s a long day ahead.
Bride's preparations
The morning of any bride begins with getting ready; this process is quite painstaking, because you need to appear before the altar in impeccable form.
On average, it takes a stylist 3 hours to create a wedding hairstyle and makeup. If you want to take photos or videos of the bride getting ready, you should invite the film crew about an hour before the stylist finishes work, when the final touches are being made.
You can take several shots of how the bride is painted, the veil is attached, the corset is laced, shoes and jewelry are put on.
- Bridesmaids By the way, bridesmaids may be present at the gathering to help her: put on a dress, veil, and jewelry. You can take a few shots with your girlfriends.
Girls dressed in matching dresses will look beautiful in photos, like bridesmaids from Western celebrations. There is no need to be afraid that girls will not be able to show their individuality: they can have different hairstyles, dresses of different lengths and styles, the main thing is that the bridesmaids’ outfits match the colors and style of the wedding.In the West, being a bridesmaid is considered a very honorable and responsible task. The girls help the bride not only during the preparations, but throughout the entire wedding day, solve organizational problems and simply support their friend. Not all invited girls are girlfriends; only the closest, identical outfits only emphasize their special status.
Groom's preparations
Of course, the groom needs less than three hours to get ready, but he still needs to get ready too. You can also capture the groom getting ready: how he fastens his cufflinks, ties his tie, puts on his jacket and shoes, and drinks a cup of morning coffee.
There may be friends next to him, just like with the bride. At Western celebrations there are as many of them as there are bridesmaids, they wear the same suits, vests or ties of the same color. Friends, as in the case of the bride, support the groom in every possible way.
Newlyweds meeting
The bride and groom can spend a little time together, exchange impressions, and get ready for the wedding. During the meeting of the newlyweds, the photographer can take wonderful shots, and after that you can go on a wedding walk.
I wrote in more detail about outfits for girlfriends in a separate article.
Of course, in such a wedding day scenario, the meeting of the bride and groom is one of the most exciting and touching moments. Imagine how many emotions they experience when they see each other for the first time in their wedding dresses: they are beautiful, young and happy.

Since there is no bride price in this option, you will not need to wait until everyone is ready and you will not need to take guests to the photo shoot. Friends who were at the bride and groom’s gathering can come with you; you’ll get interesting group shots with them. After the photo shoot, you can safely go to the ceremony, where all the guests will arrive.

The groom's unusual morning began with a workout
I usually arrive at a shoot early to sketch out a plan for the shoot and take my time unpacking the equipment. This time, I found my fiancé Evgeniy during his morning workout. He didn’t mind starting filming earlier, and we started the photo shoot with unusual sports shots in the fitness club of the Novotel hotel in Moscow City.

Why is filming the groom getting ready excluded?
The first reason for refusing to photograph the groom's preparations is that the groom is not photogenic. Very often, a photographer may come across grooms who simply do not like to be photographed. They will not agree to anything, even under different conditions.
The second reason for refusal may be that the photographer simply does not have time to visit two places at the same time. In this case, if you really want to, you can simply hire a second person or try to rearrange the time.
And the last reason for refusals is the financial situation. Nowadays, almost every photographer charges a lot of money for his work. And in most cases, newlyweds simply refuse a number of points. But is it worth doing? Of course not. In a few years you will regret this refusal, because then you will want to remember everything in detail, but it will be completely impossible to do this.
