Why You Should Plan For a Bridal Session
Bridal sessions have become the rage in the past couple years -but what are they, and why should you plan for one before your wedding day?
A bridal session is a session with you, the bride, and a photographer, taking portraits of you in your wedding dress PRE-wedding day. It’s an amazing time to celebrate YOU and your beauty outside the chaos of your wedding day, and there are a lot of other benefits to it as well - including making you feel less awkward and more like yourself!
You Can Get Some GREAT Use Out Of Your Hair and Makeup Trial
Instead of just having some fancy hair and makeup done when testing out your wedding day look with nowhere to go, putting that look to use by getting your portraits taken is a great way to capture the moment - especially outside of all the tears and generally moving around that you’ll be doing on your wedding day! You also can get a good idea of how you will look in your photos on your wedding day, and can change things up if there’s anything you don’t love.
Choose a GORGEOUS Location
Usually on your wedding day, you are most likely limited to the type of spots you have for photos or where you can travel. For a bridal session, you can choose any AMAZING spot for photos - up in the mountains, in a beautiful airBnB, or in a gorgeous garden. You get to be creative and dream up a spot - and even try a different look for what your wedding day will be.
Less Stress
Getting your photos taken in this low stress, exciting session allows you to enjoy yourself both during the session AND on your wedding day! It will give you an idea of how you’ll feel all dressed up and posing for photos, as well as what to expect in your photos as well. It’s also an AWESOME time to bond with your photographer and build a comfortable working relationship together. And you’ll look less nervous in your photos and more LIKE YOURSELF!
Lastly, one fun thing you can also do is invite your groom to the session with you!!! Again, you will be in your wedding dress and all done up, so it’s up to your discretion if you want him to see you like that before your wedding day! But it’s also a great way to relieve the stress and rush of taking photos together during your wedding.
Guys, bridal sessions are SO FUN, and SO EMPOWERING! Think about adding one to your wedding package - it is SO worth it - for the photos, the excitement, and the comfortability you’ll get in front of the camera :)
