A Western Bridal Session During Golden Hour in Texas

May 31

I recently had the absolute pleasure of capturing Emily’s bridal session on a family friend’s land in Palestine, Texas! This location was filled with rolling hills and had the best golden hour glow. It was the perfect backdrop for her bridal session! The serene environment and the personalized touches made Emily’s session so memorable. Not only did I capture her bridal photos, but Emily and her fiance also trusted me to capture their engagement AND wedding day!

Personalizing Your Bridal Session

Personalizing your bridal session is key in making your photos unique and meaningful For Emily, we incorporated elements that were significant to her and her fiance. This made her photos not only beautiful, but deeply personal! Bringing a cowhide, a special rug or even a picture of your mom or grandmother in their wedding dress can add a sentimental layer to your photos.

Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your bridal session:

Plan a Hair + Makeup Trial: Schedule your hair and makeup trial run for the same day as your bridal session! This gives you a chance to see how your look will photograph and you can make any necessary adjustments before the big day.
Get a Trial Bouquet: If possible, bring a trial bouquet. It’s not uncommon for brides to make changes to their bouquets after seeing how they look in photos.
Bring Personal Items: Again, incorporate items that hold a personal significance! Whether it’s a piece of family jewelry, your wedding day shows, or even a cowboy hat that reflects your style! These details will make your photos more unique to you.
