Bridal portraits are a meaningful tradition—and one of the most helpful parts of the wedding prep process. But the most common question we get is: when should I schedule mine?

Our sweet spot? About 6 weeks before your wedding day.

Here’s why that timeline works so well:

• It allows time to order your printed portrait for display at the wedding.
• You have a buffer for any final dress alterations, hair/makeup tweaks, or accessory changes.
• You can see your full wedding day look come together—then adjust anything that didn’t feel quite right.

Believe it or not, it’s very normal to want to make a small change after seeing your bridal portraits. Maybe your veil didn’t sit how you expected. Maybe the dress needs a final nip or tuck. That’s why planning ahead matters.

But what if you’re short on time?
We don’t recommend waiting until the week of the wedding… but yes, we’ve done it!
While it leaves less flexibility for dress or styling adjustments, our in-studio professional printer allows us to deliver prints up to 16×20 in time for your big day—even on a tight timeline.

Whether you’re a meticulous planner or pulling it together last-minute, we’re here to make the process seamless and stress-free.
