What is a Bridal Portrait Session?
Well, if you’re engaged & planning a wedding, this is typically more popular among traditional weddings, then you might want to consider hiring your wedding photographer & planning a solo portrait session of you in all your Bridal glory! Most brides will use their wedding venue as the location, however if you have a specific envision & theme for your bridal session then go for it!
Why should I book a Bridal Portrait Session?
This is the time to test out your wedding vendors before wedding day! Try out a wedding hairstyle & makeup you have in mind & see if it’s how you want to look on your wedding day with the vendor you have in mind. Get a mock bouquet from your wedding florist. Be able to put on & wear your wedding dress & veil. Work with your venue beforehand, some wedding venues will offer free photo session time on the property. And, you'll be able to work with your wedding photographer, this is amazing! Not only does this allow time for you to open up with your photographer, but can be an important factor when having a stranger photograph you on wedding day!
How will this reduce my wedding stress?
On a normal traditional wedding days, you have a set timeline of all the moments that make up your wedding day, so staying on schedule is important, but it’s not the biggest thing in the world. If you are feeling nervous about having more than enough time for your solo bridal portraits on top of everything else you want captured, then having a bridal portrait session can definitely benefit you when it comes to your wedding day! Plus, you’ll be able to get dolled up & wear your wedding day one more time, besides on your wedding day!
What if I do my Bridal Session after the wedding day?
This is something you can do & is more practical if you want to try to do it on wedding day! Just know on wedding day you probably won’t be able to have as much time to yourself for solo portraits than you might want or think. This will also depend on how many hours of coverage you have your photographer for & what all is planned on wedding day! I highly recommend asking your wedding photographer the logistics for capturing these photos on wedding day or if you’d like a solo bridal session!
