The Dress Fitting Journey

Your wedding gown is more than just a dress, it’s a work of art and a reflection of your love story. If you’re having a custom gown designed, let me capture the magic of the process, preserving the behind-the-scenes moments of your fittings with a documentary-style approach.

For couples who value fashion, experience, and custom details into their special day, your wedding gown is more than just a dress, it’s a statement, a work of art, and a reflection of your unique love story. Every stitch, fabric choice, and design element speaks to your personality and vision for your wedding day with thousands of hours of love and labour behind it. But beyond the final reveal, there’s a beautiful journey in the making of your gown, one that deserves to be documented just as much as your wedding itself.

As a photographer with an editorial eye and a deep appreciation for fashion, I offer a unique experience to capture this incredible chapter of your wedding planning. If you’re having a custom wedding gown created for you, I would love to document the process, adding an intimate and stylish layer to your wedding gallery and album.

On your second last fitting with your dress designer, the one before you pick up your final gown. I will join you at the studio to document the experience. This isn’t about posed portraits or staged moments. Instead, I take a documentary approach, photographing the fitting as if I were a fly on the wall, allowing you to be fully present with your loved ones.

I’ll capture the details: the way the fabric moves, the designer’s final touches, your expression as you see your vision come to life. The quiet glances between you and your family, the laughter as you step onto the pedestal, the moment you run your hands over the delicate beading—it’s these fleeting moments that make the experience so magical.

Your wedding album isn’t just about the wedding day itself; it’s about the full journey that led to it. The custom gown process is an integral part of that journey, and having it documented means you’ll always have these behind-the-scenes memories to cherish. These images can sit alongside your wedding portraits, creating a complete story of your bridal experience—one that’s deeply personal and uniquely yours.
