Grooming the groom

Your husband will appreciate some behind the scenes shots of him tying his tie, polishing his shoes, and putting on his cuff links. These will show the excitement and anticipation the groom is feeling before the ceremony. This shot is often overlooked, as most wedding prep photos focus on the bride and her glam team.
