The Bridal Dress

Over the last thirty years as a photographer, I’ve done more bridal dress shoots than I can count—and yes, sometimes even for brides whose weddings I didn’t photograph. (Apparently, the dress deserves its own celebrity treatment.)

These sessions are a chance to show off the gown, the hair, the makeup, and the jewelry without the whirlwind of a wedding day. No rushing, no timelines, no “Uncle Bob” stepping into the aisle with his iPad. Just you, the dress, and the spotlight you deserve.

Sometimes brides use this as a “test run” with their makeup artist before the big day, while others simply want an excuse to slip into the gown again—because honestly, when else are you going to get away with wearing that much tulle in public?

It’s the perfect opportunity to pick a gorgeous location, model the dress like it belongs on the cover of a magazine, and capture some absolutely stunning images you’ll treasure forever.

Bridal Boudoir

Yes, it’s a thing! Bridal boudoir is a fun way for a bride to give her fiancé something personal, special, and just a little bit spicy to brighten their big day. Most sessions happen in the studio, but taking it outdoors can be an adventure too. Sometimes it’s lingerie, sometimes a robe, and sometimes—believe it or not—the wedding gown itself.

Worried about posing? Don’t be. That’s my job—I’ll happily direct you, guide you, and make sure you look amazing. Honestly, within five minutes of shooting (and cracking a few jokes), the nerves melt away and it starts feeling more like a fun girls’ day out than a photo session.

Many brides bring along a friend or their Maid of Honor for moral support, quick touch-ups, and the occasional hair fix. Between the laughter, the glam, and the gorgeous photos, it’s an experience that’s as unforgettable as the gift itself.

ALWAYS INCREDIBLE…

You’re going to love them—the images will be incredible, and you’ll actually have a blast being posed and photographed. And who knows… fast forward a year, and we might be doing maternity photos. Those sessions are just as beautiful—and let’s be honest—often way more entertaining. (Because nothing says “fun” like trying to balance a baby bump, a glowing smile, and a craving for pickles all at once!)
