Preparation works in the opposite direction to the way it is usually sold. The most useful activity happens while the date is still some way off, and the right advice gets quieter as it approaches. By the final week, almost everything worth doing has already been done or should not be started.
Every page below is arranged on that principle, and none of them is a countdown. There is no window here you can have missed, only a description of what is worth doing from wherever you happen to be standing.
If you already have a date and simply want the appointment, book it. Toronto · Los Angeles
The longest run-up and the most at stake. A rhythm of treatment beforehand, one appointment close to the date, which RRR™ treatments suit which concerns, and honest answers about bridal parties, mothers of the bride and what a single treatment close to a date can and cannot do.
What is worth doing from wherever you are, what it costs, and which stages ask you to do nothing at all.
Local booking windows, group availability and lead times.
Red carpets, press days, photoshoots, speaking engagements, long-haul travel and the events that are not weddings but are photographed just as thoroughly. The principle is identical and the timescale is usually shorter, which changes what is worth doing rather than whether anything is.
Dedicated pages for these are in progress. In the meantime the preparation guide covers all of them, and it is explicit about where a shoot brief differs from a wedding brief.
The full timeline, why the last four days is a hard cutoff for anything new, where injectables sit relative to everything else, and what to do on the morning itself.
Send it to us rather than guessing, along with what is actually bothering you. We will tell you what is worth doing in the time you have · and if the honest answer is less than you expected, we will say so.
