Did you do bridal portraits before your wedding?

Question

Pictures you take (by yourself) with your hair and makeup done from the trial run wearing your wedding dress a couple weeks before your wedding.

Answer

I didn't do bridal portraits before the wedding but I did a boudoir shoot with my photographer the day I had my hair and makeup trial. I gave my husband mini albums from the boudoir session the day of our wedding, while on our honeymoon, and when we got back home. Way more fun than having extra bridal portraits - I had plenty of pictures of just me the day of the wedding. And of course hubby loved it. 😘

Answer

I've never heard of that! If you have the momey and time, why not! The only downside I would think of would be less excitement seeing yourself all done up on the actual day, since you've seen it before.

Answer

We did that to save time. The photographer was my best friends dad, so it didn't cost a thing.

Answer

I've never heard of people doing that...... I had so many pictures of myself from the day of my wedding, I wouldn't see the point in doing it all before hand too.

Answer

I think it's regional. I'm in the South. It's definitely a thing here. Most photographers, including mine, have bridals as part of their packages or as an option. All the women in my family have had them. It's more for the mothers than the brides themselves. My portrait is hanging at my mom's house. Her portrait and my aunt's are at my grandmother's.

Answer

I was planning on it. But didn't want to spend the extra $75 on top of the $500 lol
