Gorgeous Bridal Photography~Five Tips to Help Make Yours A Success!

Photography by: Swensen Photography

We just received some images for Swensen Photography from one of their most recent shoots & wanted to share it with you.  These bridals were taken at the beautiful La Caille, where the upcoming bridal show on July 17th will be held.  I love how clean & fresh these images are.  This bride is glowing.

We wanted to give a couple tips to the Brides on Bridal Photography.

1.  Make up & Hair~Make sure you don’t overdue your make over.  You want to look like you just on your very best day.  See how this Bride used her naturally, gorgeous, curly hair and she created two looks, one with her hair partially up & one with it down.  Feel free to be able to make those changes to get a couple different looks in your session.  Her make up was exquisite.  Not too much, not too little, just perfect in defining her features & highlighting her natural beauty.  Don’t forget to check out our vendors for help on your special day.

2.  Flowers~ Don’t forget to order a bouquet for your bridals.  (I have to admit, I totally didn’t even think about a bouquet for my bridals~Seriously, what is wrong with me?  I really regret not having my perfect bouquet for my bridals)  So brides, don’t do what I did, plan ahead.  Contact your florist as soon as you have your bridal date scheduled & order that bouquet. Check out our flower vendors here.

3.  Rings~Don’t forget to wear your ring.  You will want highlights with your ring & HIS ring if you plan on having your fiance join you at the bridals for some pictures together.

4.  Hire a professional~ You don’t want to regret your images later.  Hire someone who knows the industry & whose work you love.  We have a great selection on our website be sure to check out of photography vendors here.

5. Have fun~ If you are having fun it will show in your pictures.  Enjoy being a model for a day.  For most of us being a model doesn’t happen all the time, so enjoy being beautiful and make sure you think about your fiance while posing.  That extra sparkle in your eye will shine through if you do.
