What is a bridal session and why do I need it? 
A bridal photo session—also known as bridal portraits—is a special photoshoot of the bride in her wedding dress, usually scheduled about a month before the wedding after the final dress alterations are complete. This session is an excellent opportunity to create timeless bridal photos in a relaxed, unhurried environment.
One of the biggest benefits of a bridal session is that it doubles as a trial run for your wedding day look. Most hair and makeup professionals include a trial session in their package, and your bridal photoshoot is the perfect time to see how your hair and makeup photograph in natural light. This way, you can make any adjustments and feel completely confident in your final look.
Unlike the wedding day—when time is limited and movement around the venue is restricted so the bride isn’t seen before the ceremony—a bridal photoshoot allows us to take our time, explore multiple locations, and capture a variety of stunning, high-quality portraits.
Another bonus is that you can use your favorite images from the session as framed prints or displays at your reception, adding a personal and elegant touch to your wedding décor.
If you’re looking for wedding photography ideas that highlight your dress, hair, and makeup while giving you gorgeous keepsakes, a bridal photo session is one of the best investments you can make before your big day.
