Northshore Brides Reviving Tradition As Bridal Portrait Trend Grows

Milwaukee brides are once again discovering the tradition of Bridal Portraits.  A bridal portrait is taken in a studio, featuring posed portraits of the bride to be in her wedding attire.  Bridal portraits are traditionally given to the groom on the couple’s wedding day, as well as displayed at the reception.  These sessions give brides the opportunity to practice hairstyle and makeup, as well as take pictures which will become part of her wedding day memories in a relaxed setting, without worrying about wedding day details.  Studio portrait photography also gives the photographer greater control over environmental conditions such as lighting. 

Many brides to be in the Northshore area are taking advantage of this service.  Joy Vertz, founder of Shoot the Moon Photography in Mequon states, “Bridal portraits are not for everyone because it does add to the cost of the wedding photography package.  But for those brides who are willing to make an investment in fine portrait photography to capture the memories of their special day, a bridal portrait can help create memories that will last a lifetime.”
