Bridal Sessions: What They Are and Why You Should Do One!
At Love & Light Productions, Bridal Sessions are something that we get super excited about shooting. However, when we meet with couples during initial consultations, many of our brides have questions about what exactly a bridal session is. Once we explain it to them, they agree that it is such a fabulous idea! We decided to write a blog about these special portrait sessions, just in case you need some more information, too.
A bridal session is actually a southern tradition. (Pass the sweet tea, y’all! 😉 ) This session is shot before the wedding day, and sometimes these photos are even displayed at the reception.
Bridal sessions are awesome for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons being a chance for the bride to do a trial run of wedding day hair, makeup, dress, shoes, accessories, etc. “Testing” these things out is important! It may even help relieve any looming anxiety you have about certain things, such as the hairstyle you are planning to rock or the eye makeup you are envisioning. Bridal sessions can be shot after the wedding day, but we think it’s more fun (and makes more sense) to shoot them before. Shooting a bridal session before your wedding will allow you to make any necessary changes before the big day.
A trial run for hair, makeup, the dress, etc. isn’t even the BEST reason for doing a bridal session! Another major plus is that your photographer will have 1-2 additional hours to get creative shots that the wedding day timeline might not allow for. Want to ride on a ferris wheel at the local carnival in your wedding dress? You got it! Want to skip around in a field of flowers while your wedding dress beautifully blows in the wind behind you? How about hopping on a horse and riding into the sunset? Yes, yes and yes! Everything we just mentioned would most likely not be able to be squeezed into a wedding day timeline.
