The quiet hour before the dress

on getting ready slowly.

Lace, window light and the hour that sets the tone for everything that follows.

The hour before the dress goes on is the calmest of the day — and the most honest. Nobody is performing yet. Coffee goes cold. Someone is always looking for a hairpin.

Choose the room with the best window

If you can, get ready in a room with one large window and plain walls. It makes more difference to your morning photographs than any styling choice.
