Here are three additional photo sessions you’ll want to consider!

1. Pre-Wedding Bridal Session

This is not one many brides think about, but it can be highly beneficial. A pre-wedding bridal session is more of a dress rehearsal for the bride. You get to see how all the accessories and details of your bridal attire work together before the big day, which means you have some time to change what you might not like and even notice alterations that need to be made.

3. Day After Session

Day after sessions were a huge trend a few years back where brides would let loose in the wedding dress, it was referred to as the ‘trash the dress’ session. (But, there’s no need to actually TRASH anything! I promise!)

These sessions are also ideal for those who have unfavorable weather on their wedding day or for those who schedule an evening wedding.

This time will also allow no constant worrying that if the wedding gown gets a little dirty your wedding day photos will be ruined.
