What is a Bridal Session?

Romantic, feminine bridal portraits are part of my signature style and a favorite to create on every wedding day. Sometimes, however, I get the special opportunity to go BEYOND the wedding day and create an experience that is fully dedicated to the bride — enter the bridal session. A bridal session is a beautifully curated, pre- or post-wedding photoshoot designed exclusively for the bride—a chance to celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime season with intentionality and artistry. A bridal session allows for an unhurried, creative experience where every detail—your gown, veil, bouquet, and bridal glow—can be captured in its full splendor. This session is all about you, creating timeless, editorial-style portraits that are a celebration of your femininity and individuality.

Beyond the stunning imagery, a bridal session is also the perfect opportunity for a full beauty trial. Seeing how your hair, makeup, and gown photograph gives you confidence ahead of the big day and ensures every detail is exactly as you envisioned. With space to create magazine-worthy, artistic portraits, we’ll craft imagery that is not only breathtaking but deeply personal, capturing the essence of this incredible season of your life.

Today I’m excited to feature a past bridal session with our cherished bride, Amy, which was also published here on Magnolia Rouge. Her bridal session took place in two parts; first at an indoor studio where we could utilize this gorgeous, hand-painted backdrop to showcase the details of her look in a whimsical, almost painterly approach. The second part of her session took place at one of our favorite venues, Monet Vineyards. We featured both of her wedding day looks and it was such an incredible day spent celebrating this chapter of her life!
