This
article gives some useful tips
about bridal portraits and I hope
it will be helpful to you on your
wedding day. - Bob
Do you
plan to have bridal portraits
made before your
wedding?
This
interesting report shows the
importance (or lack of it) of
bridal portraits and I think you
will see things through the eyes
of two brides and their feelings
about wedding
pictures.
One thing I
skipped when I got married was
the appointment for bridal
portraits. Though I thought they
might have been very neat to
have, I decided that I really
didn’t want to get dressed
up in my wedding dress and pay to
have my hair done before my
wedding, only to have to do it
all over again for the actual
event.
I know that
these type of pictures are
important to many women, but for
me, it not only saved money to
skip this part of the wedding
images, it wasn’t something
that I felt I needed to do. For
some reason, I wanted to be
dressed up in my dress and
looking wonderful on my wedding
day only. I thought it would not
be as special the second
time.
I was
right. I would not have felt as
good if I had put my dress on for
bridal portraits before the
wedding day, and I certainly
didn’t feel like doing it
after the fact. Instead, I did
all the photos I wanted the day
of the wedding and left it that
way.
What's
important to one bride and groom
may mean nothing to another
wedding couple
I do
understand why many want to do
the bridal portraits, and I can
also understand why this is an
advantage to some. They
don’t feel stressed or
rushed, and they don’t have
guests waiting around for them to
finish on their wedding day. It
does reduces the amount of time
spent with the photographer after
the ceremony, and I can’t
think of one wedding guest that
would not love that.
For some
though, the bridal portraits
odyssey becomes more important
than the wedding day. This
happened to a friend of mine. She
is a wonderful girl, but she is
somewhat hung up on what her
parents expect of her.
If you
want a wall portrait you should
consider doing bridal portraits
before the wedding
They wanted
a very large wall portrait to
hang over the fireplace in their
home, and that was that.
My
girlfriend could have had these
bridal portraits done on her
wedding day, but she had to keep
the photography costs down as
much as possible. The bride could
have hired a good wedding
photojournalist to do her
pictures during the marriage
ceremony. Instead, she made the
appointment for her bridal
portraits and said she had a
great time doing them, but she
also said she felt that doing
wedding gown pictures before hand
took away from the wedding day a
bit for her.
Personally,
I feel that wedding
photojournalism is a bit
overrated but many can do the job
of producing quality portraits of
the bride.
It is
really for the bride, the groom
and the families to decide when
the concern is bridal
pictures
Each woman
should make her own choice when
it comes to bridal portraits
instead of having them done along
with all the other wedding
pictures. In the end, it
won’t be very important.
The
important thing is to make the
bridal and wedding experience
what the couple dreams it to be,
and not be hung up on what others
think is the correct way. If a
bride thinks it might take away
from how she feels on her big
day, they should be skipped. No
harm done. And, the groom
probably won't care either
way!
From Bob:
The only comment I would like to
add is that, no matter if you
choose to create your birdal
portrait before or after the
wedding ceremony, make sure you
hire a professional wedding
photographer to do the job. You
will save many heartaches if you
do. After all, the bridal is one
of the most important pictures
you will ever have taken. Do it
right!
