What Are Bridal Preps?

What Are Bridal Prep Photos?
Yes, it sounds like a silly question, but many people are confused as to what “Bridal Preps” actually are!

Bridal Prep photo’s are shots taken while the bride is getting ready! These shots are usually photographed in a reportage style, with perhaps just one or two set up shots. However, these set up shots will be made to look “spur of the moment”.
The photos are usually of the bride getting her hair and make-up done, being helped in to her wedding dress, plus shots of the hustle & bustle and fun that goes on while everyone is getting ready.
The whole point of these shots is to complete the story. A good wedding album, such as a Jorgensen Album, or Graphi Studio Wedding Book, should be a story of the whole wedding day. And like any good story it should have a beginning, middle and an end.

Photos of the bride with the bridesmaids or her father standing next to the fireplace are NOT bridal prep shots. Photos of the bride posing in her dress are NOT bridal prep shots either.

These are portrait shots!

Yes, they are usually taken before the wedding, but only because there’s a bit of time and those people are on hand. These shots could be taken during the main photo shoot or any other time during the wedding day.

At Campbell Photographic you choose when we start. So if you choose to have bridal preps we don’t charge you any extra.
