Bridal Party Shenanigans
Here’s a few of my faves from over the years.
To make sure we get great images there are a few ‘must haves’.
Your photographer can’t “Make you have fun”.. What does this mean ?
Well it just means enjoy your day, rain hail or shine this is your day so make the most of it.
Cracking some champas and enjoying a beer or 2 is a great way to kick things off.
A bite to eat wouldn’t hurt either, a bit of a sugar hit mid afternoon will see you through until the reception.
Regardless of where we are we’ll always have fun..
Bridal party photos should feel natural, fun, and full of personality, capturing the genuine excitement of your big day. To achieve this, encourage your bridal party to relax and be themselves rather than focusing on stiff, posed shots. A skilled photographer will create an easygoing atmosphere, guiding everyone into movement-based poses, like walking, laughing, or interacting naturally. Choosing a scenic location with plenty of space allows for creative, dynamic shots that feel spontaneous. Inside jokes, playful prompts, and fun props can bring out natural smiles and real laughter, making your photos feel authentic. Timing also plays a role—scheduling your session during golden hour provides warm, flattering light that enhances the mood. Outfit coordination helps create a polished yet effortless look, but the key is ensuring everyone feels comfortable and confident. Music can also set the tone, helping ease nerves and adding an element of fun. Above all, the best bridal party photos happen when everyone is genuinely enjoying the moment, so embrace the fun, celebrate together, and let your photographer capture the magic naturally. These relaxed, joy-filled images will reflect the love and energy of your special day, giving you memories to cherish forever.
