Ah, bridal portraits: a true reflection of a bride before marriage; capturing her personality through the lens. You probably may not have wanted pictures of your face any other day, but you just so happen to on this day (bridal jitters I suppose!). Photographers have branched out from the typical "standing bride" into shoots that focus on the artistic appeal of a photo, the personality of the bride, and the emotion instilled in the shot. Here are some tips for your portraits:
Use a range of emotions and poses: it helps you become more photogenic.
Be creative with props (in this case, both living and nonliving!): they help add aesthetic feel and loosen you up!
Choose a picturesque location (trust me on this one!).
But most of all, have fun!
That's a wrap lovelies!
