Alyssa's Bridal Session | Portland Wedding Photographer

Bridal Sessions are becoming more and more popular for brides before the wedding along with having an engagement session. They allow the bride to do a portrait session in their full wedding attire and is essentially a trial run to how they will look on the day of their wedding, thus allowing for any alterations to the dress, hair, or makeup.  After all, most brides do a trial run of hair and makeup anyway – at least put that all that effort and beauty to good use! 

Now that they have had their wedding I can post this bridal shoot I did for a recent bride. Alyssa and I were able to shoot the bridal session before we went to meet with her fiance Elias for the engagement shoot. The bridal session was only about an hour long and gave her some great pointers on how to stand and posing as well as a setting that we won't be able to shoot at on the wedding day. Most brides enjoy a variation on the settings and locations of the photo's to mix it up and this gave us a great opportunity to do that, and it gave some great photo's of her to give to her fiance after the wedding ( or before if you don't mind the groom seeing the dress before the wedding ). The session was fun and relaxed so check her out below in all her wedding dress glory! Thanks.
