The Bridal Session is a beautiful, quintessentially southern staple
that my national and international brides are embracing. I have very fond memories of, as a child, staring longingly at the formal photographs of my Mom, my Grandma, and even my Great-Grandma standing serenely and quite formally (and in truth, a little
stiffly) in their bridal gowns. It's one of the reasons I fell in love with photography.
Just like the modern day bride, the bridal session is not quite so stayed or formal. It's much more about who the bride is and how she envisions her wedding. Yes, it's still a chance to be a princess for a day, to be the center of attention, but it's
also a real opportunity for a trial run. You get all gussied up in the gown, the jewelry, those fab shoes you spent months looking for, try out you hair and make-up and really test out the fit of the dress and how the finished look fits in with your vision
of your day. The very best thing about the bridal though, is the experience! Spending the day basking in the glory of being the bride, being the glorious bride and model and feeling more beautiful than you've ever felt before. And when we sit down together
to look through your images and relive your day, you''ll know your true beauty. After the session is over, most of my brides choose one to three images from the shoot and have them on display as 11x14s or 16x20s at the reception before they go one permanent
display in her parents' home. And just wait until you see the bridal album!!!
