Why Bridal Photos at Your Venue are a Must

On a sunny day in May, Sadie our bride-to-be prepared for her bridal session at The Barn at Sparrow Creek Ranch, our beautiful wedding venue with 100 acres of rolling hills, pastures, and all the cool spaces for bridal sessions! But this wasn't just any bridal session.

The bride's sister, Lori Self Photography, was behind the camera, capturing every special moment!

For Lori, this was more than just a job. It was an opportunity to celebrate her sister's love and to document this special time in her life.

The sisters spent the afternoon exploring the ranch, finding the perfect spots to take photos. They laughed, they talked, and they savored every moment. Lori captured her sister's beauty in every shot, from the way the sunlight danced on her hair and the wildflowers — to the way Sadie smiled when she thought about her upcoming wedding day!

Three Reasons to Take Bridals at Your Wedding Venue

Taking bridal photos at your wedding venue is a great way to build memories and get more inspiration for your wedding day. It's also a chance to have your photographer hear and see why you chose your venue in the first place.

On the wedding day, brides are often stressed and don't have time to walk their photographer through the venue and point out all their favorite things. But during a bridal session, brides have the time and creative freedom to do just that.

By taking bridal photos at your venue, you can:

• Build memories at the place where you'll be saying "I do."

• Get more inspiration for your wedding day décor and other details.

• Help your photographer understand your vision for your wedding day.

Your photographer will be able to see the venue in a new light and capture photos that are truly unique to you and your relationship. They'll also be able to get a better sense of the lighting and flow of the space, so they can plan their shots accordingly.

All in all, taking bridal photos at your venue is a great way to make the most of your wedding experience. It's a chance to relax and enjoy yourself, while also capturing some stunning photos that you'll cherish for a lifetime!!!
