Including A Photographer Can Help Make Your Bridal Shower More Than A Moment
A bridal shower is one of the most intimate and joyful pre-wedding events, bringing together your closest friends and family for a day filled with love, laughter, and anticipation. Yet, many brides-to-be overlook the importance of professional photography at their shower—focusing instead on the engagement shoot or wedding day itself.
But here’s the thing: your bridal shower is one of the last times you’ll be surrounded by your closest loved ones before the big day, in a setting that’s both relaxed and meaningful. It’s a moment worth sharing - especially with how busy you'll be on your Wedding Day.
When else will you have all of the most important women in your life in one room - just to enjoy and celebrate you?
Bridal Shower Photography: More Than Just Candids
At Christina’s elegant bridal shower on Long Island, I captured a mix of documentary-style candids and timeless film portraits to create a complete visual story of the day.
What Makes Bridal Shower Photography Special?
📸 Unscripted, Genuine Moments – A bridal shower is often filled with laughter, hugs, and happy tears. Professional photography ensures that those fleeting moments aren’t lost to phone snapshots.
🎞️ Beautiful Portraits on Film – I dedicated time to capturing individual portraits of Christina with her bridesmaids, mother, and siblings—creating heirloom-quality images that feel timeless.
💌 Perfect for Thank You Cards & Gifts – These portraits aren’t just for the album. They’re perfect for printing, gifting, and using in post-event thank-you notes.
💍 A Quiet Moment with Her Fiancé – We also took a few candids with Christina and her fiancé, adding a sweet touch to the collection.

FAQs About Bridal Shower Photography
1. Why hire a professional for a bridal shower instead of using phone photos?
Phone photos are great for quick snaps, but a professional photographer captures the event with a storytelling approach—making sure you get beautifully lit, high-quality images without anyone missing out on the moment. Plus, portraits on film create an elegant, timeless look you can’t get from a phone.
2. What’s included in the bridal shower package?
This package includes up to 3 hours of photography, covering both candid moments and individual portraits of the bride with her bridesmaids, family, and even her fiancé (if present). You’ll receive a mix of digital and film images, edited for a clean, natural look.
3. Can we customize the session to include more portraits or additional hours?
Absolutely! If you’d like more portrait time, extra hours, or a larger focus on specific moments, I’m happy to create a custom package that fits your needs. Check out my transparent pricing for more details.
4. How soon will we receive the final photos?
You’ll get a sneak peek within 48 hours after the event, with the full edited gallery delivered within 3 weeks. Photos can be turned around same week - just ask about my current turnaround times!
5. What areas do you serve?
I cover NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island. If your shower is outside these areas, feel free to reach out, and I’ll see if I can accommodate!
6. How do we book?
Booking is simple! Click to check availability, or send me a message if you have any questions. A small deposit secures your date, and the rest is due by the event.
