Bridal portraits originated in Europe and typically take place about a month or two before the wedding. A bridal portrait session has so many benefits! Keep reading to see why you should schedule bridal portraits with your photographer!
Trial Run
Bridal Portraits give you a trial run for everything! The bridal portrait shoot gives the bride the opportunity to put all the components together, photograph it and make and necessary tweaks to makeup, hair and accessories. That way on her wedding day, her look will be put together to absolute perfection.
Cherished Keepsakes
They are so much fun and you & your spouse will likely cherish the photos for many years! Your wedding day is one of the days that you will feel your most beautiful so it’s important to document and have gorgeous photos to look back on.
More Time
Of course you will have photos taken at your wedding, but planning a bridal portrait shoot before is a great way to get all the photos you want because on the day things can go quickly. Your wedding day can be hard to get every little thing in that you want to and if you don’t want to feel rushed getting portraits on your actual day it’s a great idea to schedule another bridal session before or after your wedding day to get all the photos you desire!
Empower Yourself!
Having bridal portraits taken of you is a fun way to feel empowered and have fun as a bride. (Technically you are only a bride until your wedding so enjoy the time and festivities as much as you can!)
Get Comfy Behind the Camera
This is also a great way to get more comfortable behind the camera if you are a little camera shy. And there won’t be the pressure of guests waiting or anyone watching you like on your actual wedding day. It’s just perfect!
