There’s rarely enough time on the wedding day to really slow down and appreciate the beauty and art of the bride. A bridal session is a chance to correct that oversight, setting aside a time (typically before the wedding) to engage in creative acts of portraiture to document your most iconic look. While it’s much more of a Southern thing, more brides (and grooms) across the country are picking up the practice as a chance to don that wedding apparel one more time and really savor their moment.

On your wedding day it will never seem like there’s enough time to get all the shots you want in your wedding attire - you’re just being pulled in far too many directions at once. Enter the bridal session, where we can focus on creating beautiful and creative portraits of the happy couple (or just one part of the couple on their own, as the name implies). But how much time should you expect to put aside for your Boston bridal session with Ryan Richardson Photography?
