Costs and Benefits to Bridal Sessions: Why we always say “YES!”

Bridal Portraits: A Must-Do for Every Bride

Bridal portraits are a beautiful and timeless way to commemorate your wedding day. They are also a great opportunity to get to know your photographer and feel comfortable in front of the camera before your big day. While some costs are associated with bridal portraits, such as hair and makeup, dress cleaning, and a bouquet, the benefits far outweigh the costs.

Here are some of the benefits of taking bridal portraits:

  • Get a trial run of your hair and makeup. This is a great way to ensure you love your look and make any necessary changes before your wedding day.

  • Try out your bouquet. See how it looks with your dress and overall wedding style.

  • Get a feel for your dress. Make sure it fits well and is comfortable to move in.

  • Build a relationship with your photographer. This will help you feel more relaxed and confident on your wedding day.

  • Create beautiful and timeless memories. Bridal portraits are a cherished keepsake that you and your loved ones will treasure for years.

  • And of course, you are building memories at your wedding venue where you will marry your love! How special and each time you visit should build on the emotional connection to the place and the powerful and life-changing future you'll have there on your wedding day!

The bridal portraits on this blog show how the Daily, our bride, is taking full advantage of the entire venue! It’s empty, without guests, no setup, just space to roam and have fun!

COSTS for BRIDAL PORTRAIT SESSIONS

We’ll mention the costs again because we are REALISTS AND UNDERSTAND the pressures and costs of weddings. It quickly adds up. So consider these costs within your entire wedding budget before scheduling so you won’t be worried about these costs at the last minute.

  • paying for hair and makeup if you do not have a trial included in your package

  • bouquet (again, not necessary, but fun to try bouquet out for a trial also!)

  • getting your dress cleaned again after (not necessary, but might be needed)

  • taking a day off work for photos as venues aren't open on weekends since they are hosting weddings
