Why bridals?-
1. Trial run for wedding day- It’s a great way to make sure you love your hair and make-up before the real deal. I’ve had several brides make adjustments to their hair and makeup once they see it photographed. Also, sometimes my brides have made further alterations to their dress after doing bridals. Often times you have to be in the dress for more than a few minutes to know if it needs changes.
2. It gives you the option to have a portrait displayed at the reception.
3. You have a stunning dress that would be so sad to only wear once. Why not spend a few extra hours in it getting to take in the bridal glow!

Location for bridals-
1. Like engagements, the location should fit YOUR personality as a bride, not what you’ve seen others do.
2. Don’t be afraid to be different.
3. Keep in mind the material of your dress and if it would snag easily. An open field may not be the best choice if your dress is overlaid in lace!
Scheduling for your bridals-
1. Just like your engagements, the best time of day is the last 2 hours of daylight.
2. Plan a day that you can take off work and enjoy the process. Don’t make it more stressful on yourself than necessary!
Overall Tips for Bridals-
1. Get your hair and make up done! It’s worth it and will make a huge difference.
2. Bring a bouquet- Without your groom to interact with, this is a great way to give your hands something to do! Plus, it adds great color.
3. Bring a family member or a friend with you to help! You will be in a big white dress so your mobility will be limited! Plus, it’s a fun experience with those that you love.
