A Mother of the Bride Photoshoot in Lilac

The Mother of the Bride register

A country house's terrace in May, lilac in bloom at the balustrade. The mother of the bride wears a lilac silk coat-dress and a small lilac hat, photographed on the terrace on the wedding morning, with her years worn with grace.

Silk, petal, stone and straw stay apart by texture, the house's stone is held pale, and the whole picture is one lilac on lilac. Light is soft and bright. The three settings are a close frame before the lilac bloom with the small hat, a chest-up frame at the balustrade with the lawn below, and a half-length frame on the terrace steps.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken at a wedding.

How to photograph yourself for mother of the bride photoshoot

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
4. The look of the dayA relaxed, warm expression carries best. Keep your face clear of hats and glasses; the pack adds the hat.
5. A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real photo taken at a wedding?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of a country house terrace. It is not a picture taken there.

Will it look like a real photograph?

Yes. Every photo is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in the look of a country house terrace, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is it right for an older woman?

Yes. It is cut for a woman in her fifties or beyond, with a coat-dress and a hat chosen for the occasion.

Can the mother of the groom use it?

Yes. The lilac coat-dress suits the mother of the groom, a godmother or any guest of the family.

Will the photos look like me?

Every photo looks like you, well photographed. If one is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.

Do I have to write a prompt?

No. There is nothing to write: you pick a pack, and it is ready in seconds.

How many photos of myself do I add?

Between six and twenty, from different days and in different light, with your face clear. We check each one when you add it.
