Every one of my standard packages includes a free bridal session. It’s just how I roll. I believe that couples are paying a fortune for their wedding, the last thing a wedding photographer should do is nickel and dime them to death. So in addition to all day coverage, free engagement sessions, and a DVD with the original digital negatives, my clients also get an hour long on location bridal session and framed 11×14 fine art print with the edited picture of their choice.
As my regular readers know, I love to blog. In fact some clients hire me specifically because they want to see their wedding pictures on the internet. Of course I also have those clients that want their wedding to be a more private, personal event, and their wishes are completely and fully respected. That’s why you sometimes see gaps in wedding postings on my blog.
Either way, blogging bridal pictures takes a special touch. Most brides don’t want their fiancée’s to see them in their Bridal dress before the wedding. To ensure that doesn’t happen I don’t blog any sample bridal sessions until after the wedding.
These bridal dress sample pictures are of a lacy, full length, beaded gown, with a medium train. She has a bouquet of wildflowers freshly picked from the side of the road. We did these Austin Bridals at the Widlflower Center one evening towards the end of the bluebonnet season in late spring.

By the way here are some bridal photo tips- when you are choosing your photographer take a look at their sample bridal gown pictures – you want to make sure you can see all the detail in the gowns. Because the wedding dress is usually white, it is very easy to over-expose the wedding pictures, and all the beautiful detail on the dress gets blown-out. What that means is you can’t see the lace work, or the beads, or the intricate stitching. Since everything is usually white, there is little room for error, and if the picture is blown out, not even Photoshop can recover the image.
