Wedding Portrait Etiquette
If the bride chooses to have a formal portrait taken, she should
do it when her wedding dress is ready. In addition, she should have her hair
styled and her makeup done in the same manner that she plans to have it done
for the wedding; she should also wear the same accessories she’ll wear on the
wedding day.
Traditionally, a bride’s formal portrait was taken to provide her
with a wedding picture to send, along with the wedding announcement, to the
newspapers. Today, formal portraits are commonly taken on the wedding day, and
the best photos processed rapidly so that it can be released to the newspapers;
however, the bride giving the groom her formal portrait, as a wedding gift, is
still considered a romantic notion. In addition, taking a formal portrait
before the wedding is also a good way for the bride to do a test run of the
hairstyle and makeup she wishes to have on the day of the wedding.
We use the following checklist to help clients decide what
photos they
