Having bridal portraits taken before your wedding is not necessary, but over the years, I've learned that it does relieve some stress and time on your wedding day. With a bridal session, you'll have the opportunity to ensure that you love your hair and makeup, are satisfied with the style of your bouquet, get more comfortable with your wedding venue, and finalize your "bridal look." With this 1-hour session, we will capture you and your wardrobe and accessory details, giving us more time on your wedding day to focus on the other important details of your big day.
the experience
01.
I suggest your bridal portraits be taken at your venue so your photos feel like they were taken on your wedding day. In my experience, most venues will give you access to the space on a weekday when there are not events scheduled.
The best time to take bridal portraits is 2-3 months before your wedding. With this timeline, I can get photos back to you for wedding day use and allows ample time to make any hair, makeup, or accessory changes, if needed. This timeline also allows for professional quality prints to arrive on time for your wedding day.

session checklist
03.
That is a possibility. I am as careful as can be during the session but we might not be able to avoid what nature has in store for us. If you are worried, please plan to get your dress cleaned again before the wedding.
06. will my dress get dirty?
I can help you decide how you want to display your photos! You can either do an ordering session with me or you can order prints directly from your photo gallery. Please do not print somewhere else otherwise you might end up with low quality prints.
05. what do i do with my photos?
Yes absolutely! I do not recommend DIYing it for your bridal session. You should look like how you will on your wedding day. Highly highly recommend asking your wedding day florist for a bouquet as well.
04. should I get my hair and makeup done?
I WILL NOT spoil the surprise!!! I won't post your bridal portraits until after the wedding, even though it's super hard to keep such pretty images to myself!
03. will you post these online?
You will receive your photos in under 3 weeks from your session date. They will be delivered to you through an online photo gallery via email.
02. How long does editing take?
We can really shoot anywhere that you love! There are tons of beautiful locations but we can also shoot at your wedding venue to keep things looking the same as your wedding gallery.
01. where do we shoot?
