Creating the Timeless Bridal Portrait

At a recent styled shoot, a colleague of mine, Lauren, had the beautiful idea to bring a crisp white backdrop to use for some Bridal Portraits. I was hesitant at first, but I am now 100% sold. For anyone having a bridal session, I think the option to incorporate a backdrop is a must!

In general I am not a huge backdrop fan. Some love them.

I, however, do not.

For this type of portrait, my mind has been changed, though. These images cut out any background noise, so the viewer is focused on the subject. When I look at these, one word comes to mind… Iconic. These are images I can imagine her granddaughters cherishing someday. They showcase the bridal beauty that she is, and are absolutely timeless in the full sense of that word.

For all my brides, my goal is to capture images of them that translate into timeless. Images that can be passed down to generations to come. And because I believe every woman is iconic in her own right, I want her to feel that when she looks at images of herself.

It was so wonderful working with Danielle during our whole wedding process! From the moment I initially reached out, she was kind, very helpful, and great to work with. She was always helpful and quick to reply. She worked with our wedding planner to come up with a great wedding day timeline and adjusted it based off my ideas. I loved being around her on our wedding day and knew that she had it all under control! Throughout the whole process she helped my husband and I feel comfortable behind the camera. Her photos are absolutely amazing!! Our photos are bright, elegant, and timeless. We will cherish our photos forever!! I could not be happier that we chose to work with Danielle for our wedding!!

We really enjoyed working with Danielle on our wedding day! She was great to bounce around ideas before and during the event, very thorough in her questionnaire, and super pleasant to be around bringing just the right energy to the mix. We got a ton of lovely photos to capture the essence of our beautiful wedding! Overall, we're very pleased with our decision to work with Danielle and would recommend her to any couple who needs a fantastic photographer for their wedding!

I could not recommend Danielle enough. My husband and I wrapped up our wedding experience feeling as if we had made a new friend through Danielle. She made it a point to get to know us on a level that was more than just transactional. My husband Cooper expressed to me after the wedding that Danielle had made him feel as though he was important as the groom, while making him feel comfortable and calm through the whole process...I chose Danielle as my photographer because you could really see and feel the romance and happiness of the couples through her photos, and I absolutely could not be any more happier with my choice of photographer. We loved every step of the way with Danielle!

When we were looking through photographers galleries, we loved the style of Danielle's photos the best. Her work is bright, classic and elegant. We didn’t have any concerns prior to working with Danielle and the moment we met her, we knew we had made the right choice. She made us feel so comfortable. We absolutely love our photos! Danielle, you captured our wedding day perfectly. Choosing Danielle as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos was one of the best decisions we made! We couldn’t love Danielle and her work more!
