Bridal Photo Shoots

If you are a bride getting married and are considering whether or not to do Bridal Portraits prior to your wedding (usually a few weeks before) then I would definitely recommend it.

For the photographer, trying to capture as many photo's on the wedding day as possible is definitely a challenge, but we always somehow manage! However, some of the most important shots you will want are the portraits of the Bride. Usually trying to get real creative shots of the bride are limited due to schedule. Although it is possible, and I always somehow manage to come out with all the shots needed, it just makes it a whole lot easier doing a Bridal shoot prior to the wedding so we can have fun, put all our focus on the bride alone, and get some really great shots that we might not have been able to get the day of the wedding. Also, it's good because we can travel to a location different than the ceremony or reception site to get even more creative.

In case you are not familiar with Bridal Portraits, it is just simply a day where the bride puts on her dress, and gets her hair and makeup done as if she were getting married that morning. Then, she and the photographer will have an hour or more of shooting time to get the desired shots. And don't worry! -As a photographer, I will not post these shots until after the wedding so nobody see's the bride before her big day!

Here are some shots of the most recent Bridal shoot i did on Valentines Day. The weather was pretty nice, the bride and her family were so much fun, and best of all we had plenty of time to have fun getting the shots we wanted. No chaos, no rushing things... just a fun day of photos.
