A guide to bridal portrait photography is an important aspect of the wedding world. On the wedding day, a bride is ushered through each step of the day. There is so much for her to take in and experience! Typically there is an expectation for wedding photographers to create editorial, classic, timeless looks as well as capture candid moments at a wedding. Bridal Portraits give both the photographer and bride the opportunity to collaborate on a look that will last a lifetime. This gives our bride the opportunity to enjoy her dress for more than one day!

What are they?

Bridal Portraits are formal photographs that have an elevated editorial touch. Because they are taken in a controlled environment, there is more opportunity to shoot all the details of the wedding gown. They are keepsakes to last a lifetime. Why not step into your dress for more than one day? The wedding day can be stressful and sometimes we can show that on faces. My goal as a bridal portrait photographer is to hold sessions that are relaxed, comfortable, and fun for my brides!

Who are Bridal Portraits for?

In my opinion, every bride! Who doesn’t want classic images of them in their gown to have for generations? Imagine grandchildren pulling out this stunning image of their grandmother. Brides that enjoy being photographed on their wedding day are the ones that will get the most out of a bridal shoot. As your portrait photographer, I will collaborate with you, the lovely bride, to create the imagery we are both envisioning. Our goal is to create classic imagery for our brides.

When Should Bridal Portrait Photography Take Place?

Typically the timeline for this is before or after the wedding inside the photographer’s studio. They are an opportunity for brides to create editorial, classic, and timeless images that will last a lifetime. These are ideal for the brides that want to showcase every aspect of their wedding gown. The benefit of the indoors for bridal portrait photography is controlled lighting, allocated time, and opportunities for creativity.

Bridal Portrait Photography In Summary

Bridal Portraits are the perfect opportunity for brides to experience more editorial and high fashion photography. I definitely think this will become a bigger bridal trend in 2020. It takes the bridal elements of the wedding day and expands it to be more editorial and high fashion.
