Bride’s Quiet Morning Getting Ready | Poinciana Golf Club

Weddings are filled with excitement, but the calm moments before the day begins hold special beauty. As a photographer, I love capturing these intimate moments. Rachel’s getting ready at Poinciana Golf Club in Naples provided the perfect opportunity.

Rachel’s getting ready moments were filled with peace and excitement. She sipped her coffee in her robe while we captured the soft morning light. It was a serene scene before the rush of the ceremony. In addition, we made sure to capture her relaxed demeanor during this quiet time.

Rachel had a clear vision of what she wanted. Thus, we spent about 20 minutes on these moments, ensuring each shot reflected the calm and beauty of her day. I guided her into the best poses and allowed natural beauty to shine through.

One of my favorite shots happened as Rachel put on her shoes and earrings. These small moments often get overlooked, but they truly tell a bride’s story. They show her anticipation and the transition from a bride in her robe to a stunning vision in her gown.

Once Rachel stepped into her Bella’s Bridal, we ventured to the golf course for portraits. The lush greenery provided a perfect backdrop. Rachel and Christian shared intimate moments here, offering a quiet pause before the ceremony. This break allowed them to soak in the significance of the day.

These bride and groom portraits are some of the most memorable. Capturing them in a moment of reflection, away from the busy wedding day, made these shots truly special.

As a photographer with experience, I know how beneficial second shooting can be. It allows me to stay creative and engaged with the wedding community. For example, second shooting with Sabrina Thomas allowed me to focus on these unique moments without the pressure of being the main photographer. It’s a great way to stay inspired and support other photographers.
