POV: you romanticize your wedding week instead of trying to fit everything into one day. š¤
These two are officially tying the knot THIS Saturday, but before the wedding-day whirlwind begins, we spent Wednesday wandering through DC, celebrating their love and creating bridal portraits in front of some of their favorite memorials.
And Iām officially obsessed with this idea.
Because your wedding portraits donāt have to be squeezed into a 20-minute window between family photos, cocktail hour + someone asking where theyāre supposed to be. š
Planning a separate bridal portrait session gives you the space to slow down, choose a location you genuinely love, get creative, and capture those editorial, romantic portraits youāve been dreaming about ā without feeling like youāre missing your own party.
Then when the wedding day comes?
You can be present. Hug your people. Drink the champagne. Actually enjoy cocktail hour. Stay a little longer in the moments you never want to forget.
More time for the photos you want.
More time with the people you love.
Less rushing through either. š„
Honestly⦠wedding week > wedding day.
See you Saturday, you two. š¤
