As wedding photographers in Charlotte we enjoy taking a wide array of photo shoots from weddings, bridal, maternity, engagement, and more. Recently I wrote an article the benefits of taking an engagement shoot before your wedding today I wanted to focus on a few reasons bridal photo shoots are important and an essential part of weddings. One of the top reasons I advise my Charlotte wedding photography clients to take a bridal portrait is because it gives her the opportunity to see how she will look in her wedding dress in wedding photos before the wedding. Another good reason is because bride change a lot of things before the wedding. Some brides change their wedding colors and others change their appearance because they want to look a certain way in their wedding pictures.  As a bride they sometimes go back in forth with hair and makeup ideas. By having a bridal portrait session it gives them the chance to see a wedding photo with their hair or make up in a certain way. With the wedding dress on it gives the bride a good idea of how beautiful she will look on her wedding day.
