Bridal Session | Amy

Along with wedding photography, engagement photography and wedding videography, Bella also offers bridal sessions. The bridal session is a photography shoot with the bride alone. It typically takes place a few months before the wedding. The purpose of the bridal session is to illustrate the elegance and beauty of the bride, in a private, relaxed setting. Many brides choose to wear their gowns for this session and use the session as a "test run" to verify that the accessories, hairstyle and makeup that they've chosen complement their dresses. Check out Amy's bridal session below! You can also check out Amy and Graham's wedding photos!

This shop is the city’s premier paint-your-own pottery studio, so sit down and paint a joint creation for your future kitchen.
