Bridal Portraits - Little Secrets

When I got married, one thing I skipped was the prior arrangements for bridal portraits. Though I thought they could have been very nice to possess, I decided that I really didn't want to wear my wedding dress and pay for a hairdo a few days before my wedding, only to have to do it all a second time for the actual event.

I understand bridal portraits are important to some persons, but for me,it wasn't something that I believed I needed to do and not only saving money to skip them. For some reason, I wanted to be dressed up in my dress and looking beautiful on my wedding day only. I thought that the second time would not be as special.

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 definitely didn't feel like going for it after the fact. I decided to take all the photos I needed the day of the wedding and left it that way. I comprehend why a lot of people agree to do the bridal portraits, and I can also understand the reason this could be a benefit to some.

The main explanation is that they do not feel stressed or rushed, and they don't feel they are making guests waiting around for them to finish on their wedding day. It also 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 could be more important than the wedding day. This happened to a friend of mine. She is a wonderful young woman, but she is kind of hung up on what her parents are expecting of her. All they wanted was a big portrait to hang in their home, and that was that. She could have done it on the wedding day, but she had to keep the photos down as much as she could. She booked a rendez-vous for her bridal portraits and said she had a lot of fun doing them, but she also told me she felt it took away from the wedding day a bit for her. Each woman should make her own choice, and it will not be very important in the end. The important thing is for the couple to live the experience they want to, and not to be hung up on what other people think is right. If a woman believes it might take away from how she feels on her big day, the portraits sessions should be skipped. No harm done.
