Why a bridal session?

5 Reasons to choose a Bridal Session:

1. Take advantage of your hair and makeup trial:
There’s nothing worse than getting all dressed up with nowhere to go! We always recommend getting a hair and makeup trial before your big day so that you can make sure you and your stylist are on the same page and that you like the styles you’ve selected, so why not take advantage of being all done up and get your photos done after?! It’s the perfect way to see how your whole ensemble will come together, and you won’t feel like your trial was a waste.

2. Shake off those pre-wedding jitters ahead of time:
There will be so much less to be worried about on your wedding day when you’ve already seen yourself in your full attire and know that you have plenty of gorgeous images ahead of time. Bridal sessions allow all of this to happen in a low-pressure setting, where you can choose your lighting, schedule, and timeline.

3. Show off your floral mock up:
In the same vein as reason #1, if you’re spending the money on a floral mock up, you might as well get gorgeous photographs of your florals and tie together your bridal look for photos. If you are worried about the additional expense of your mock up bouquet I have a beautiful silk bouquet provided by Vine and Branches and you are welcome to use it!!

4. Wedding Look Preview:
A bridal session is the perfect time to see how everything photographs and have time for adjustments if some of the smaller details aren’t quite right. Maybe you felt like flowy beach waves was going to be the perfect look for your wedding, until you saw how the humidity took over by the end of the photo session, so you’d know to opt for an updo for your wedding day!

5. Location options:
Do you love a natural wide open field with the perfect lighting but know you’d never be able to fit in the location for portraits on your wedding day? A bridal session is the perfect opportunity to have photographs taken in a fun and different location. BUT it is also a great opportunity to have even more quality time to photographer at your wedding day venue!

Not only do they allow you to twirl around like a star in your gown for a little bit longer and give you even more photos to frame or share with your friends + family, they take the pressure off the wedding day. The timeline, the getting ready location, your entire bridal look… you name it! So take advantage of a bridal session! Email me today if you would like to discuss booking for your big day!
