session details, tips, and answers
bridal session
Having bridal portraits taken before your wedding is not necessary, but over the years, I've learned that it does relieve some stress and time on your wedding day. With a bridal session, you'll have the opportunity to ensure that you love your hair and makeup, are satisfied with the style of your bouquet, get more comfortable wearing your wedding dress and finalize your "bridal look." With this 1-hour session, we will capture you and your wardrobe and accessory details, giving us more time on your wedding day to focus on the other important details of your big day.
the experience
01.
Bridals can be taken anywhere you want! You can take them at your wedding venue or get adventurous and go somewhere different! You will definitely get photos of yourself on your wedding day, but having a separate session gives us more time to play and get creative. This is also a great idea if you're wanting to display a photo of you in your dress at the reception!
The best time to take bridal portraits is 4-6 weeks before your wedding. With this timeline, I can get photos back to you for wedding day use and allows ample time to make any hair, makeup, or accessory changes, if needed.

FAQs
05.
I don't cap the final image number! Engagement sessions normally yield anywhere from 70 - 300 photos.
06. HOW MANY IMAGES COME WITH THE FINAL GALLERY?
Unfortunately I do not. I photograph a lot of weddings throughout the year and any weekends I'm not working, I'm enjoying time with my family. Thank you so much for understanding!
05. DO YOU DO SESSIONS ON THE WEEKENDS?
Printing is an option but not required! I offer high quality printing services within your final gallery! If you'd rather print from a third party on your own, a print release is included in your download!
04. DO YOU OFFER PRINTING? AND CAN WE PRINT ON OUR OWN?
Sessions typically take about 3 weeks to be completed.
03. WHEN WILL I RECEIVE THE FINAL GALLERY?
I normally try to wait until the day before to cancel a session if there happens to be bad weather. With Alabama weather, you never really know. If it is going to rain, please stay flexible and we can always work out another date! Or heck, if you want to shoot in the rain I'm cool with that too!
02. WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE'S BAD WEATHER? DO WE RESCHEDULE?
A normal session lasts an hour and you're welcome to bring 1-2 outfits with 1 location (or 2 if they're nearby). If you'd like more time, you can upgrade to a 2 hour session for $300 more.
