about this video:
the morning bride will wear the least amount of makeup (compared to midday, afternoon, and evening brides) and will photograph best in a fresh, natural, glowy makeup look. the reason for this is because the photographer will be taking photos outside, and the cool, soft morning light will make everything photograph darker than it appears to the eye. because the light is so soft, it is important to go with softer shade choices or the beautiful bride will look dark and harsh in her photographs.
in this video, robert will walk you through a really beautiful morning bridal look and will give you all the tips and tricks you need to be aware of in order to make the morning bride look her beautiful best at the actual wedding…as well as in the timeless wedding day photographs!
