Bridal Portraits

Bridal Portraits in Beaufort, NC & a tip for bridal portrait sessions!!

Bridal portraits are a very southern tradition and one that I love and will always get behind (even if it means we’re adding additional time on the wedding day to make sure we walk away with more than a few)!! My biggest piece of advice if you’re going to do a bridal portrait session is to trial your hair and makeup BEFORE the bridal portrait session. PLEASE do not wait till that day to trail your hair and makeup .. and then not like said hair and make up.. While you’re at your trial, or in the seat on the day of the session or wedding day be sure you talk to your hair and makeup artist if you don’t like something. They genuinely want to know what you like and don’t like.

Excited to share these bridals I captured in Beaufort, NC.

Fall is RIGHT around the corner here in South Carolina and I am so excited. I wish it lasted longer than it does, but I’ll take what it gives us since it’s my favorite season. As I’m thinking about fall I’m still thinking back to Abby & Nick’s fall engagement session. Excited to share a […]
