Bridals

I didn't do a bridal shoot before the wedding, I just took a few photos alone before the ceremony.

I've always seen them prior to the wedding. People will usually put some of their bridal portraits at the reception. I'll do them around a month out because by then my dress should be altered and ready to rock. I'll also be doing my Hair/makeup trial that day so it's not a complete waste of money

I do not thin people take weddings pics the day before the wedding rather day of. If you think about, you would have to pay more for hair and make up and then your future spouse will have seen you dressed up. I feel it would take away from the special moment of the day of. Now you could do a first look with your husband or family prior to the ceremony.

If you have a bridal photoshoot, it's done prior to the wedding, usually the day you have your hair/makeup trial if you have those. I'm not doing a bridal photoshoot so instead I'll just ask the photographer to take a couple of just me during the pre-ceremony photos.

Not doing a bridal shoot. We will display our engagement photos. We will take pictures the day of in our outfits.

I’m doing all of my bridal portraits the day of the wedding.

I also just took a few photos alone during my photoshoot day of

Bridals are done prior to the wedding. Not everyone does them though, it’s more of a southern thing. Usually it’s done that way so the bridal portrait can be displayed at the reception. A lot of people do their hair and makeup trial at that time.

View Quoted Comment Bridal portraits are super common in the south! The bride takes photos by herself in her dress with hair and makeup done and her bouquet. A bridal portrait is framed at the reception usually.

Not in Florida lol. However, many do not consider Florida in the south. Most take pictures before the ceremony. I have never known a bride to get all done up before her wedding day but that is an interesting tidbit to know.

Bridals are done before your wedding. Typically you choose one to be displayed at your reception. I chose to forego them and just have photos taken of just me on my wedding day.

View Quoted Comment Yeah I’m from Texas and everyone I know has done bridal portraits! It’s definitely a regional thing.
