No time for a bridal portrait session before your wedding day? That’s okay! Here’s a handful of ways to do bridal portraits the day of, no time commitment necessary. If these gorgeous photo ops don’t inspire you, we don’t know what will!

You may be asking, what’s a bridal portrait? It’s typically a Southern tradition when the bride takes portraits (typically 1-2 months before the wedding) in her full wedding day attire — hair, makeup, jewelry, veil, bouquet, and of course, the dress. It’s a lovely way to commemorate a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

While a session before the big day is ideal and special, day-of bridal portraits are just as gorgeous and are adapted for busy brides. You’ll need to organize your wedding day timeline for a few of these special snaps, but thankfully there are several key moments that make it easy to fit them in. Read on for our favorite ways to capture bridal portraits on the wedding day.
