Bridal

A bridal session is up to an hour long at a location of your choice. A bridal session is typically done about four-six weeks before the big day. Your gallery will be delivered 2-3 weeks after the session. All images are available for digital download. Clients can order prints and products through my website shop.

These pictures are beautiful displayed at your wedding reception and are cherished for a lifetime.

The Tradition of the Bridal Portrait Session

A bridal portrait session is a fairly old and specifically Southern tradition that began in Europe. The bride schedules a portrait session focusing solely on herself which takes place well before the wedding day. She is photographed dressed in her wedding dress and She might also have her hair and makeup done by the same person she is planning on using for her wedding day. The resulting bridal photos are kept secret, and in many cases a large print from the session is later displayed at the wedding reception.

Why Should I Schedule A Bridal Portrait Session?

Deciding whether or not you want to have your “bridals” done is purely a matter of personal choice! But I do think it’s important to learn about the reasons why a bridal session can be very beneficial. Then, you can decide for yourself whether it makes sense for you!

• Decide whether you want to change anything about your final look – One of the best parts about a bridal session is that you have the opportunity to see all of the elements put together. It’s not only exciting to see how gorgeous your hair and makeup look with your dress, but it also gives you the opportunity to tweak anything that doesn’t look the way you imagined. This is the perfect opportunity for a “dress rehearsal”!
• Bridal portraits give you a bit more posing practice – Much like your engagement session, your bridal session will give you more one-on-one time with your photographer. You also get the chance to practice moving AND posing in your wedding dress. When the big day arrives, you’ll be a pro!
• Capture beautiful, stress-free bridal portraits – Scheduling a bridal session is the perfect time to capture photos of you all glammed up. You’ll still have photos taken of just you on your wedding day, but this is a chance to get extra special photos without being worried about your timeline. You just get to focus on looking amazing! You’re going to spend so much time planning out your bridal “look.” It makes sense to dedicate 1 hour of bridal photography to capture all of your hard work! Plus, I personally think it’s a lot of fun!
