As a wedding photographer, bridal sessions are one of my favorite sessions to do! But, it can be so hard to have to wait to post the images until after the wedding! In this blog we wanted to share some of our best tips and tricks to navigating your bridal session.
Don’t forget to let the company who is doing our alterations on your dress know that you are doing bridal photos, and that you will need to have our dress ready to go before your wedding date! This way you can see how it’s going to fit in photos on your wedding day.

Schedule your hair and makeup trial that day. Again, this will help ensure that you will be comfortable and confident in your hair and makeup, and feel like the prettiest version of yourself on your wedding day and in your photos!

Wear your jewelry and shoes that you will wear on your wedding day during this session as well. This will make sure that your jewelry looks cohesive with your dress and that you’ll be able to comfortably walk around in your shoes on your big day. We don‘t want wedding day blisters!
Contact your florist and tell them you are doing a bridal session- they can make a bouquet that looks identical to the one on your wedding day for you to use! Trust me- you’ll want the flowers.

Bring 1 or 2 people with you (obviously not your fiance), but maybe your mom or a bridesmaid. They can help fluff your dress, poof your veil, or hold your florals for you while you take photos. Also chose someone who will hype you up during this session too!
Don’t be afraid to make your photos personal or add you own touch to them! My favorite examples of this was Brittany, who wanted a purple smoke bomb! Or Mary Hannah, who wanted her horse, Whisper, to make an appearance! Just have fun with it!
