Bridal Portraits

The day of your bridal portraits is the day you start truly feeling like a bride. Yes, there may have been tears of joy at the bridal salon when you found “the” dress, but the day of your bridal portraits everything is finally coming together. Your hair and makeup are looking wedding day ready, you have the dress on, and you have your bouquet in hand.

We all know that a bridal portrait session is a fun way to give your wedding day ensemble a test run, but it may be even more important than you think. After months of planning and stressing, you may have fluctuated in size. By scheduling your bridal portraits a month or two before the wedding, you will be able to put on your dress, move around in it, and make sure that alterations can be made if necessary! Of course you will look fabulous on your wedding day, but it is important to make sure you will be comfortable in your dress and shoes for hours and hours.

Another plus to having a bridal portrait session is having plenty of bridal portraits to choose from! The day of your wedding you want to be relaxing and spending time with your guests, not running around taking pictures with different lighting setups and backdrops. By scheduling a two or three hour bridal session, your photographer will be able to take you to several locations and capture portraits in different lights. Not only will you have plenty of unique shots, you will be able to pick the perfect portrait to display at your reception!
