Thinking about having a bridal session before your wedding? A bridal session is a growing trend among the wedding industry and we are loving it! Here are just a few reasons we encourage our brides to invest in a bridal session!

1.Test out your hair, make up, and flowers!

There really is no better time to test out your bridal look than 1 to 1.5 months before your wedding! Looking up hairstyles on Pinterest, finding the right hair piece to go with my veil, and trying to remember all the bobby pins I would need was completely unnecessary stress that I could have lived my whole life without! I remember being so anxious in the days leading up to my wedding that there is no way I could have focused on anything else, however if I had a bridal session leading up to these moments I would have been much more confident walking into my wedding day!

2. Try a different location

Have you seen those pictures on Pinterest of brides on a beautiful mountain top or in a studio? That didn’t happen by chance! There are so many locations to choose from. We love the styled studio if you have more serious, professionally-posed style, but we also love the candid dress twirl with a mountain view! Our goal is to capture YOUR personality. If your personality is climbing up mountain, booking a historic home, or just finding a beautiful local garden, our team can help you with a bridal session! You will have these moments to remember forever, so why not take the time for yourself to get dressed up in your gown, test out that hairstyle and get your make up done. Take this time to add a fun element to your portraits like an amazing, custom bouquet or edgy leather jacket and studded shoes! There’s nothing you can’t do! If you plan in advance with our team, we can coordinate the perfect setting for your portraits before your best day! Here are some of our favorite bridal sessions!

3. Have time on your day for your groom, girls and guests!

Having a bridal session before your wedding day can allow more time for you to spend with your groom, your bridal party, and the guests that have come to help you celebrate! While it’s our job to help you have the perfect timeline to balance all these exciting moments on your wedding day, the best thing that we can suggest is take the time before the wedding day excitement begins to have your bridals done. Once your wedding day gets here, it is so easy to forget about certain photos you have in mind because of busy timelines and making sure your guests are having a good time! If your bridals are completed prior to wedding day, you get to spend all the time with your groom, girls, and guests!
