A bridal portrait may be taken before the wedding day or after the ceremony. If you are interested in a truly formal portrait take the time to visit the portrait studio in advance. This will eliminate having to do it before the ceremony when you are already nervous. This will also cut down on the time taken for those photographs after the ceremony.
