Have you considered doing a bridal shoot before your big day? Looking back it would have been such a good idea for me to do this as I'm the most self conscious person in front of a camera and I'm sure it would have helped me a little! This lovely lakeside shoot by KATIE GRANT is as beautiful and simple as it need be and Katie shares some great advice with us. �As a photographer, I cannot stress enough how important it is for a bride to wear her dress and get comfortable in it before the big day! A bridal session (whether you do it before the wedding or after) is always a great idea. Your wedding gown is such a key element of your wedding and you want to ensure it is both captured beautifully (without the stress of the wedding day itself) and that you know how you look and feel in it before you wear it for 8+ hours straight. This lakeside bridal inspiration is the perfect idea for wearing your gown and having timeless and effortless photos taken!� KATIE has recently made the big move from San Diego to Western Australia so all you Aussie brides on the lookout for a fabulous fine art wedding photographer, be sure to check her gorgeous work out!
