From beginning to end, professional wedding photographs tell the story of your wedding day. To start, getting-ready photos capture the electricity in the room as the bride and groom finish up their preparations. As the morning continues, a photographer will take candid shots of the couple as they select their wedding day accessories. Particularly, they document the couple getting dressed, and the sweet moments when they’re finally ready to walk down the aisle.  If the couple exchanges gifts prior to saying vows, those private moments between the couple are captured as well.

As an all-in-one venue, we recommend getting ready for your big day at our onsite Holiday Inn & Suites hotel. Our spacious suites are perfect for couples to get ready with their wedding party & have fun doing it.
