Are you excited to plan your upcoming portrait session but feeling a bit overwhelmed about how to prepare? Don’t worry, we’re here to help. Follow these top 8 tips to ensure that you know how to prepare for your portrait session.

8 Tips for Planning the Perfect Session

  1. Choose the Right Photographer: Start by researching photographers whose style and portfolio align with your vision and personality. Look for recommendations from friends and family, or search online for local photographers who specialize in the type of portrait session you want.
  2. Define Your Goals: Take some time to think about your goals for the photos so you can communicate your goals to your photographer so that they can tailor the session to meet your needs.
  3. Choose the Right Location: The location of your portrait session can greatly impact the mood and overall feel of your photos. Consider a location that is meaningful to you and reflects your personality and style. Discuss different options and locations with your photographer.
  4. Consider Your Outfits: Your clothing choices can greatly impact the final look of your portraits. Choose clothing that is comfortable, flattering, and reflects your personal style. Consider coordinating your outfits, but don’t necessarily make them match. Bold colors, patterns, and textures can add visual interest to your photos.
  5. Plan Your Props and Accessories: Props and accessories can add a unique and personal touch to your portraits. Bring items that are meaningful to you, but avoid using props that are too distracting or trendy.
  6. Schedule Hair and Makeup Appointments: Consider scheduling a hair and makeup appointment before your portrait session. Professional hair and makeup can help you feel confident and polished, and can create a beautiful and polished look for your photos.
  7. Bring Snacks and Water: Portrait sessions can be tiring, so make sure to bring snacks and water to keep yourself and your family energized and hydrated.
  8. Communicate with Your Photographer: Communication with your photographer is crucial for a successful session. Discuss any ideas or concerns you may have with them beforehand. If you have a preferred angle or side that you feel is your best, make sure to communicate this to your photographer.

This floating pearl veil is so unique we just had This floating pearl veil is so unique we just had to highlight it! 🤩

This veil is made of tulle with delicate pearls sewn onto it, creating the floating effect. The pearls are typically spaced out and arranged in a scattered or random pattern. This unique veil adds a touch of glamor and elegance to any wedding look and is perfect for a bride who wants something a little different than a traditional lace or tulle veil! 

This veil added a subtle sparkle to the bride's overall appearance, we could feel her glowing even MORE on her big day.💖

Other unique wedding veil ideas:

Bubble veil: This veil is made of multiple layers of tulle that are gathered together at the top, creating a "bubble" effect. It is a fun and playful option for a less formal wedding.

Blusher veil: This type of veil is a short, single layer of tulle that covers the face during the ceremony. It is typically lifted back over the head after the exchange of vows.

Floral veil: A floral veil is made of silk or organza flowers that are sewn onto the veil or hairpiece. It is a beautiful and romantic option for a garden or outdoor wedding!

What veil option is your favorite? Let’s chat about it in the comments!
