Has anyone NOT had bridal portraits taken?

I didn't do them. I actually don't know anyone that has done them.

I'm not doing them. I had never even heard of them until I joined WW

Not doing them. Although I finally realized my grandmothers's "Bridal Portrait" from the 1950's has been hanging on her wall the entire time. Just had no clue what it was.

I had never heard of bridal portraits until SYTTDATL. I guess if they come in the package they are ok but if not I don't see the added expense.

I think it's ridiculous and a waste of money.

I had never heard them until I found WW. I'm in Southern California so I am thinking maybe it's not in this part of the country. So no I am not doing them and I don't really see the point, personally.

I have never even heard of bridal portraits. Aren't they pictures of just you? My photographer is taking photos of just me at my wedding. Why would I need separate bridal portraits. Never heard of such a thing but I am up in Indiana lol.

I did not know they were "a thing" either until I joined here. So, nope!! I'm sure you can still ask your photographer for 15mins. of pictures on your own though if you'd like some individual shots. Try to schedule them into your timeline.

I didn't even know they were a thing until I came to WW. I will not be doing them, and don't regret my decision.

I'm not doing them. Like others said I didn't even know they were a thing until WW.

I'm planning on doing all of our wedding portraits (wedding party, family, bride and groom, etc.) In the morning before the ceremony, so I'll get a few taken then.

Nope. Waste of money to me.

I didn't have them done, and haven't missed them in 18 years (yeah, I just come here for fun...). On the flip side, when my grandmother passed away, we found *hers*, and WOW-- it was wonderful to see her looking so young and beautiful! Of course, if I'd ever gotten to see her wedding pictures (she and Grandpa had been divorced for *years*), it might not have been so exciting.

I had never heard of bridal portraits until I joined ww. That being said my photographer took plenty of photos of just me and I don't regret not getting bridal portraits done.

I have the option of choosing bridal or boudoir pics as a part of my wedding package. Im going for boudoir.

I think they were more common many years ago and not just in the south. When my nursing school roomie got married in 1971, she had them done and then right after the wedding, one of the "portraits" was published in the local newspaper with a description of the wedding. It was kind of a "society pages" type thing--even though, believe me, none of us were high society!! I'm not having them done, I'm sure my photographer will manage to get a shot of me by myself at some point during the day.

I'm having them.. (Arkansas, lots of people do them here.) but really..the reason I'm doing them is because I'm dying to have pictures of me in my dress in a sunflower field and there is not one anywhere near our venue. However, I'm waiting til after our wedding to take them so I don't have to worry about my dress getting dirty and having to have it dry cleaned before the big day. If there were to be a field of flowers near our venue, I would not do them.

I also am not paying a ton for them. I have a good friend that takes pics on the side so she's going to do them for me if not for free at a low price. I'm not using my professional photographer that's taking my wedding photos for them.

Im with @Lynsey, I didnt know what was this lol

I do want some portraits, but maybe 1 or 2 after the ceremony... not like a shoot for myself.

I never even heard of these before WW. I didn't do them, no regrets!

Also not planning to do them. I do expect our photographer to get a couple of individual shots of just me and of just FH prior to the ceremony, though.
