Groom’s Guide: Looking Your Best on the Big Day

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and as the groom, you'll want to look and feel your best. At Move Mountains Co., we know that getting camera-ready can seem daunting, but with the right preparation, you'll be ready to shine in front of the lens. See Mike get ready for his wedding as you read our comprehensive Groom’s Guide to ensure you look and feel your best for every captured moment on your big day.

 
 

1. Skincare Routine

Start Early: Ideally, start a skincare routine at least a few months before your wedding. Cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize daily to keep your skin clear and hydrated.

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the weeks leading up to your wedding to maintain a healthy glow. Proper hydration is key to looking fresh and vibrant.

Professional Help: Consider visiting a dermatologist or esthetician for professional advice and treatments tailored to your skin type.

 
 

2. Grooming Essentials

Haircut: Schedule a haircut about a week before the wedding. This gives your hair a chance to settle and look natural. Avoid drastic changes; stick with a style you’re comfortable with.

Shaving: Decide whether you want to be clean-shaven or keep your facial hair. If shaving, do it the night before to avoid any redness or irritation. If you have facial hair, make sure it’s neatly trimmed.

Nails: Clean and trimmed nails are a must. Consider getting a professional manicure to ensure your hands look their best for close-up shots of the rings.

 
 

3. Attire Perfection

Tailored Suit: A well-fitted suit makes a world of difference. Ensure your suit is tailored to your measurements. Try it on a few days before the wedding to make sure everything fits perfectly.

Accessories: Don’t forget the details. Cufflinks, pocket squares, ties, and shoes should all complement your suit. Make sure everything is clean and polished.

Comfort: Break in your shoes before the wedding day to avoid discomfort. You’ll be on your feet a lot, and comfortable shoes will keep you smiling.

 
 

4. Healthy Lifestyle

Diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Avoid excessive salt and sugar, which can cause bloating and breakouts.

Exercise: Regular exercise not only helps you look your best but also reduces stress. Focus on a mix of cardio and strength training.

Rest: Get plenty of sleep in the days leading up to your wedding. Being well-rested will help you look fresh and energized.

 
 

5. On the Big Day

Stay Calm: Nerves are natural, but staying calm will help you look relaxed and confident. Take deep breaths and focus on the joy of the day.

Touch-Up Kit: Keep a small kit with essentials like a comb, blotting papers, and lip balm to handle any last-minute touch-ups.

Smile: The most important accessory is your smile. Genuine smiles look great on camera and reflect the happiness of the day.

 
 

6. Practice Makes Perfect

Photo Practice: If you’re not used to being in front of the camera, practice posing and smiling in front of a mirror. This will help you feel more comfortable and natural on the big day.

Engagement Shoot: Consider having an engagement photo session. This is a great way to get used to being photographed and to build a rapport with your photographer.

 
 

At Move Mountains Co., we believe every groom deserves to look and feel his best on his wedding day. By following these tips, you’ll be camera-ready and confident, ensuring that every photo captures the true essence of your celebration. Remember, it’s your day too, and with a little preparation, you’ll be ready to shine as brightly as your bride.

Capturing a Lifetime: John + Daria's Journey with Move Mountains Co.

At Move Mountains Co., we have the privilege of capturing life’s most cherished moments, creating lasting memories that tell a unique and personal story. One such journey has been with John and Daria, a couple whose love and life we have documented through their engagement, wedding, and most recently, their newborn portrait session. The experience of being part of their significant life moments has been incredibly special and highlights the importance of having the same photographer throughout these milestones.

Where it all started

Our journey with John and Daria began with their engagement photos in the fall of 2021 in New York City. The excitement and anticipation of their future together were palpable, and we were honored to capture those emotions. The engagement session allowed us to get to know them as a couple, understanding their style, personalities, and the unique bond they share.

From Engagement to Wedding

Their wedding day, in the summer of 2022 at Cruiseport Gloucester, was a beautiful continuation of this story. Having already built a rapport with John and Daria during the engagement shoot, we knew exactly how to capture their special day in a way that felt authentic and meaningful to them. The trust and comfort they had in us allowed for genuine, candid moments, resulting in photos that truly reflected their love and joy.

Welcoming a New Life

Recently, we had the incredible honor of photographing John and Daria's newborn portrait session. Seeing them transition from newlyweds to parents has been a heartwarming experience. Their newborn session was filled with tender moments and the profound love they have for their new baby. Capturing the same couple in different stages of their life adds a layer of continuity and intimacy to the photos, creating a visual narrative that spans years.

The Importance of Consistency

Having the same photographer document these key moments in life offers numerous benefits. Firstly, there’s a level of comfort and familiarity that can’t be replicated. John and Daria were already at ease with us, which allowed for more natural and relaxed photos. They didn’t have to start from scratch with a new photographer, explaining their preferences and getting accustomed to a different style.

Additionally, the consistency in photography style ensures a cohesive look across all the important milestones. The photos from their engagement, wedding, and newborn session all harmonize, creating a beautiful and unified collection that tells their unique story. This consistency is something that future generations will cherish as they look back on the family’s history.

A Special Bond

Being part of John and Daria’s journey has been a testament to the special bond that forms when a photographer is there to capture life’s most important moments. It’s a relationship built on trust, familiarity, and mutual respect. For us at Move Mountains Co., it’s more than just taking pictures—it’s about creating a visual legacy that families can treasure forever.
