Recently I had made the decision to no longer offer individual bridal sessions to my clients. I know. I know. Here in Texas I’m sure to catch some heat for it but truth be told, the majority of my clients are out of state and/or destination weddings where an individual bridal session isn’t cost effective or even realistic in most cases. Also, I really feel that the wedding industry is becoming more and more about the couple and less about just the bride. Grooms have become much more involved (willingly even!) and in recent years when given the choice the majority of my clients are opting for a unique and beautiful engagement portraits over the more traditional bridal sessions. In other words, engagement sessions ARE the new bridals! Of course I will always take the time to steal away the stunning bride for some portrait time on the day of the wedding. I will just no longer offer these types of sessions on an appointment basis. That being said I just returned from shooting one of the last few bridal sessions I had previously committed to and I have to admit, after seeing this image that I took less than 3 hours ago, I may have to reconsider! What do you think??
