Should you do Under The Veil shots

Dec 17, 2024 | Wedding, Wedding Tips

There’s something undeniably magical about under the veil shots. They’re not just photographs; they’re intimate moments frozen in time. When a bride and groom steps beneath her veil, it creates a soft, dreamlike cocoon that has them forgetting everyone else around them. As the light dances through the delicate fabric, it frames both the bride and groom’s faces with an almost angelic glow, adding an heavenly beauty to the images. More than just a trend, under the veil shots create one of the best and most favorited images of a couples wedding gallery. Trust your photographer to capture this unique perspective; it’s a moment you’ll treasure forever.

Here are some tips for you to consider when planning for your under the veil shot on your wedding day.

Choose the Right Veil

I suggest a veil that’s lightweight, sheer, flows beautifully, and is long (longer than elbow length) . A delicate, single-layer veil allows the light to filter through, creating that soft, ethereal golden glow in your photos. Consider lace or subtle embellishments if you want to add texture and depth to the shot.  

Relax and Trust Your Photographer

The magic of under-the-veil shots comes from natural emotions and movements. Relax, take a deep breath, and trust your photographer to guide you. Whether it’s a close-up of your face or a romantic moment with your partner, the key is to let your genuine feelings shine through.  

Use an Extra Spare Veil Just for This Shot

Bring along an extra, lightweight veil specifically for your under-the-veil photos. Amazon is a great place to go to find an inexpensive long veil. This allows your photographer to get creative without worrying about wrinkling or damaging your main veil. A spare veil also gives you the flexibility to experiment with layering, positioning, and movements to create those dreamy, romantic images you’ll treasure forever.
