You will take hundreds of wedding photographs on your special day. You will pose with your groom, your bridesmaids, your family, and your friends. But one of the most significant set of images you will take are your formal bridal portraits. These are the images which capture you and the way you look on the day you've been dreaming about your entire life. Bridal portraits were traditionally taken before the wedding in a separate photography session. However, these days most brides choose to take them on the wedding day itself. Make sure your photographer schedules time for these shots shortly after you complete your hair and makeup to ensure you will look as flawless as possible. After all, it's your day to be the star, and these are photos you will cherish for the rest of your life.
