Bridal Portraits | Why You’ll Never Regret It

Your big day is coming and you’ve found yourself sitting on the fence about scheduling bridal portraits. I know what you’re thinking, “I’ll already be all done up on my wedding day getting photos of me ALL. DAY. LONG. Why would I want to add one more thing on my pre-wedding day to-do list?” Well, I’m here to tell you why you will never regret getting them taken!

Your Bridal Portraits Will Have You Saying, “Best Decision Ever!”

If that’s what you are thinking then you sound a lot like this bride, “At first, I wasn’t sure I wanted to do them.” Yes, getting your hair and makeup done professionally before your wedding day might sound like a hassle but she goes on to say,  “I’m so happy I decided to take bridal portraits with Brooke…after speaking with brides who took them previously and consulting Brooke on the subject, I decided to go ahead with the shoot two days before the wedding. Best decision ever!”

One Less Thing to Worry About on Your Wedding Day

The great thing about getting bridals done before the wedding is that you have less to do the day of! You have more time to focus on remembering every detail of the day and taking it all in. You can take her word for it. She says, “Having already taken all the solo shots before our wedding day, I did not need to stress about getting the perfect picture of me on the day of. With everything going on (hair, makeup, reception set up, first look, group shots, etc.) it was nice to not have to worry about an extra thing! Instead, we concentrated on photos with my bridesmaids, groom, and family. Definitely the way to go.”Bridals portraits on cliffs | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Bride with peach and ivory bouquet | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Bridal portraits along the water | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Bride and bouquet on sandy beach | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Bride and bouquet on the beach | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Bridal session on beach | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Bridal portraits on Sunset Cliffs | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Close up of bride | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Beach bridals and bouquet | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Bride on cliffs during bridal shoot with Brooke Bakken | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Bride with veil | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Bouquet, bride and beach | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County

A Location That’s Just for You

Did I mention that with bridals you don’t have to be limited to your wedding venue or wedding day locations? Pick a place that represents you and that will set the perfect backdrop for your photos and let me get to work. With this bride, we took photos at Sunset Cliffs and it was breathtaking. She had this to say about that, “Plus the location of my bridals (Sunset Cliffs!) was amazing, and we would not have had time to travel to that special locale during the hectic wedding day. Thanks so much for talking me into bridals, Brooke!”Sunset Cliffs | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County Blossoms and beach | Brooke Bakken | Bridal Photographer | Orange County
