What is a Bridal Portrait Session?
First, let’s talk about what a bridal session is if you aren’t already familiar. A bridal portrait session is a session thats sole focus is on the bride dressed in her wedding attire prior to the wedding day. The bride will also have her hair and makeup done, and will usually have her wedding bouquet as well. Let’s touch on the pros of booking a bridal portrait session prior to your wedding.
1.) Hair and Makeup Trial Run
If you want to see what your hair and makeup will look like on your wedding day, booking a bridal session and getting your hair and makeup done is the perfect opportunity! If you want to change anything about your look, this is the perfect way to decide whether or not that look is what you want to go with for the actual day!
2.) Less Scheduled Pictures on Your Wedding Day
Scheduling your bridal session means that come your wedding day, you wont have to get as many photos! Of course on your wedding day, we typically would capture portraits of just you on your own. When you schedule a bridal session prior to your wedding day, this allows us to knock out all of your bridal portraits before hand! This will then leave you more time to mingle and enjoy your wedding day!
3.) Bridal Portrait Sessions Offer a Fun Experience That You Can Memorialize
A bridal session offers a fun experience just for you to get all dolled up and get more photos in your attire! You’ll be less stressed because it’s not your actual wedding day, and we can make it fun and unique to you! You can also choose another fun location that isn’t your wedding venue as a different backdrop for your photos. There are so many fun things we can do and incorporate during your bridal session! Not only this, but this is a session you will remember forever, with photos that you can look back on forever, too.
