With today's disposable society and "trash the dress" sessions, you may wonder; do today's brides desire beautiful portraits anymore? The answer is a resounding, yes!
During this past month, we have been busy creating beautiful portraits for brides being married this spring. We create a large percentage of portraits in the studio where we have ultimate control of light and zero chance of soiling the gown. The camera studies and resulting finished portraits will become a beautiful memory for generations. Future grandchildren will appreciate the beauty of "grandmother's" gown and elegance.
Light and form are at the foundation of the bridal portrait. We sculpt as many as six individual strobes to feature the gown as well as the bride's beauty. Before completion, the portrait is enhanced by hand to bring out the subtle detail of the gown and finally framed in an appropriate moulding for the client's home.
The session is usually scheduled about 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding. This gives the bride a chance to enjoy her gown and "test" the alterations. If any adjustments need to be made, there is time to "tweak" the final alterations if necessary. The bridal session also is a great preview of the complete ensemble (hair, makeup, flowers, gown) This is a great stress reducer for the bride to know that her vision has become a reality.
