Are you newly engaged? First off Congratulations! What an exciting and wonderful time in your life. I am sure you have already figured out it is also a time of a lot of daydreaming, planning + prepping. In other words it’s a lot of work that will be all worth it in the end.

You may have been hearing the term “Bridal Session” and wondering what it is. It is a fairly old term coined in Europe and refers to a time scheduled about a month out from the wedding day for the bride to have photos taken in her gorgeous wedding gown.

The Purpose

The purpose of a Bridal Session is nuanced in may different ways.

1. It serves as a fantastic hair and makeup trial day along with experiencing how long it will actually take you to get ready on your wedding day.
2. It provides you to have a non rushed photos of you in your dress while it is in pristine condition and your hair and makeup are perfect.
3. This time allows you to warm up to the camera and feel comfortable and beautiful in your gown.
4. If weather is not cooperating on your wedding day it will alleviate the stress of outside photos the day of your wedding.
   

If you are thinking about a bridal session we highly recommend it, you won’t regret it. And if you fiancé is up for scheduling a session for himself, this could be just a 30mins session in his suit/tux, we can start a new tradition. Why a guys bridal session?

1. It too serves as experience of how long it will actually take him to get ready on the wedding day.
2. Also most men never get into their suits or tux before the wedding day and let’s be honest, sometimes that makes for very stress full moments. Suits don’t always fit as expected as we know stress can cause weight loss and weight gain before the wedding so this will allow your man to take note and make any adjustments needed before the wedding day.
3. This time also allows him to warm up to the camera and feel comfortable with us.
4. If weather is not cooperating on your wedding day it will alleviate the stress of outside photos the day of your wedding.
   

Let’s planning a session!
