Having bridal portraits taken before your wedding is not necessary, but over the years, I've learned that it does relieve some stress and time on your wedding day. With a bridal session, you'll have the opportunity to ensure that you love your hair and makeup, are satisfied with the style of your bouquet, get more comfortable with your wedding venue, and finalize your "bridal look." With this 1-hour session, we will capture you and your wardrobe and accessory details, giving us more time on your wedding day to focus on the other important details of your big day.
the experience
01.
I always suggest your bridal portraits be taken at your venue so your photos feel like they were taken on your wedding day. In my experience, most venues will give you access to the space on a weekday when there are not events scheduled.
The best time to take bridal portraits is 4-6 weeks before your wedding. With this timeline, I can get photos back to you for wedding day use and allows ample time to make any hair, makeup, or accessory changes, if needed.

No - but, are they nice to schedule and have? Yes! They will help you decide if you need to change up anything about your look and help you get more comfortable moving around in your dress.
05. Do i really need to do a bridal session?
Absolutely - I am down for anything.
04. CAN WE DO SOMETHING NON TRADITIONAL?
Nope! You are beautiful and deserve to shine!
03. IS IT WEIRD IF IT IS JUST ME AND NOT THE GROOM?
Just keep in mind - you might need to book additional hours for my coverage and plan a location where the groom can't see you (if that's your thing)!
02. WHAT IF I REALLY WANT TO DO IT THE DAY OF?
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.
