Portrait of a Lady

24/07/2016/

A formal wedding portrait gives the bride the opportunity to capture every bit of the dazzling beauty and emotion she radiates. Here are some portraits ideas to inspire you, along with tips on how you can get the best bridal photos.

Often bridal-party portraits include lots of subjects. But for a especially sweet image, try posing with only your flower girls.

A posed photograph does not have to be stiff. If you dress is made of a flowing fabric, such as silk chiffon, a special filter works to convey the sense of playfulness and animation.

The iconic bridal accessory, a sheer veil provides plenty of drama for a close up as well as helps soften and flatter your features.

If your dress has long train or a very full skirt, make sure your photographer takes a few shots that show the back view of the dress.

While your photographer focuses on his job, let guests have a crack at the action too.
