Bridal Portraits Photography

Indian Wedding Portrait photography as the name suggests deals with portraits of the bride and groom. It seems to be an oddly specific genre of wedding photography but guess what, it is actually really popular in bridal photography scenes. Marriage portrait photography does end up covering a lot of the wedding but bridal portraits are a different aesthetic entirely which requires the bride to pose for solo pictures in all their queenly glory.

 

Since these portraits require you to be visibly aware of the photographer, some brides might have trouble sitting comfortably with that idea, here are a few tips we've collected for you to ace that marriage portrait photography session -

 

The idea is to always get comfortable in your settings before starting the shoot. Play around with different facial expressions, get comfortable in your bridal fit and makeup and try to inculcate aspects from there in the portraits. It's also important to be well-rested before your Indian Wedding Portrait Photography.

 

You might even want to schedule your marriage portrait photography session a couple of days before the wedding. The reasoning behind that being on the day of the wedding, photographers are grossly overpacked and barely get enough time with the couple to do individual photoshoots. There's so much to cover on the wedding day that it's very probable to mess up the portrait session because of time constraints. Instead, you should hold your Indian Wedding Portrait photography a day or two before the wedding, this ensures the photographer gets enough time to work with the couple.

 

Some of the marriage portrait photography comes from when the bride is getting ready. Declutter your dressing area and make proper lighting arrangements there too for good portraits.

 

If you're focusing on natural light portraits don't forget to make the most out of the golden hour. Even though a good photographer should be able to take good pictures in any lighting, the best lighting will give you the best results.

 

Use your location to maximum advantage. Be it a grand staircase, or tall chandelier decked rooms, make the most out of your location for some spellbinding shots.

 

Keeps a few props handy. It's always a good idea to allow some props into your pictures.

 

Hire a photographer whose vision you trust. Every photographer has a unique style, I always advise brides to go through their work beforehand and select a photographer whose style speaks to them.

 

Remember that the primary goal of these portraits is to highlight you, the location, outfit, props, etc. are important but don't crowd the picture so much that the focus is no longer you.
