Photographing Your Big Day: Bridal Robe Photo Ideas

Your wedding day is a day that you’ll want to remember forever - which is why we go crazy over wedding day pictures!

Today, photographing your big day doesn’t just include the ceremony. Modern brides like to capture every moment of the special day from the moment they get out of bed until the moment they leave the reception with their new hubby.  And why not when you’ve put so much love into the planning and the day is sure to fly by?

One element of the day worth capturing is the process of getting ready. You and your bridesmaids will love to look back on these photos and remember this exciting yet intimate time!  Typically, the photos end up being more relaxed and natural then the other aspects of the day like the traditional family photos.

Considering you’ll want to capture this process, it’s important to consider what you’ll want to wear on the morning of your big day! It may seem like an extra decision, but really it’s an opportunity to feel special and feminine – setting the tone for the day.  Wearing a bridal robe for your hair and makeup sessions is both practical and beautiful. 

Below are some bridal robe photo ideas that show how to best capture your robe while getting ready to walk down the aisle.
