Southern Tradition of Bridal Portraits

Rooted in tradition, the bridal portrait is the southern must-have prior to your wedding day!  A bridal portrait is a special photoshoot between the bride and her photographer without any other pomp and circumstance or focal points.  A bride typically will choose a venue totally different than the setting of the wedding or on location at a place dear to her heart.  During this time, the bride is able to do a full “wedding day look” trial run with hair, makeup, bridal gown, veil, accessories and her bridal bouquet.  It is such special time for the bride to envision exactly what she will look like on her special day and have the opportunity to take an extended amount of time to capture the essence of her bridal beauty!  Additionally, this time allows the bride to become more comfortable with her photographer, creates better communication between the two and will help her see which poses are the most flattering for her upcoming nuptials.  On the wedding day, these portraits become a beautiful addition to the overall décor displayed for all friends and family to admire.
