Shiplock Park Bridal Portraits - Virginia Wedding Photographer

I always love when brides take bridal portraits before the wedding. I get a sneak peek at their dress, and the brides get a trial run with pulling everything together—the dress, shoes, hair, makeup, florals! Melissa looked amazing in her bridal portraits at Shiplock Park!

One benefit to having a bridal portrait session is that the brides can see how everything photographs and make any adjustments before their wedding day. They’ll know, for example, if the buckle on their shoe tends to get caught in the tulle, or if they’ll need extra hairpins to keep their veil from falling off.

Plus, it gives the brides one more opportunity to rock their dress!

Here are a few of my favorite images from Melissa’s Shiplock Park Bridal Portrait Session!
