In this feature, fine art film photographer Sheri McMahon<\/a> shares her tips on how to style a bridal photoshoot. This particular photo session was inspired by the colours and textures of the NSW Central Coast.<\/h3>\n

Working with both film and digital, Sheri creates light, soft images that are timeless treasures not only of a couple\u2019s wedding day, but also of the time leading up to it. Many couples she works with opt to book a bridal shoot, bridal boudoir, or engagement photoshoot prior to their wedding day. This allows them an opportunity to work with her and get comfortable with being in front of the camera prior to their wedding day.<\/p>\n

The photos below are from a recent inspirational bridal photoshoot that took place on a secluded beach at Little Bay on the NSW Central Coast. The soft, natural light and gorgeous setting were the perfect scene for Sheri to capture dream-like photos. Sandra Chau Design<\/a> styled the shoot.<\/p>\n

The absolute best way to get photos you’ll love \u2014 whether from a bridal photoshoot or an engagement shoot \u2014 is to select a photographer whose work you love, and who makes you feel completely comfortable.<\/p>\n

As Sheri says, \u201cI have a way of making my couples feel at ease and relaxed in the space and environment.\u201d When you\u2019re working with someone you trust implicitly, you\u2019ll feel confident and relaxed not just during a styled shoot but also on your wedding day.<\/p>\n

Do you recommend bridal photoshoots for most brides? If so, can you talk us through some of the reasons to do a bridal photoshoot (or even an engagement photoshoot) prior to the wedding?<\/h3>\n

I definitely recommend an engagement session for all couples. This is the perfect opportunity to capture a milestone in your life while getting to see how I work. Plus, I get to see how you interact with each other as a couple before the big day. My couples feel so much more comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera as a result on their wedding day \u2014 we’re more like friends by your wedding day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
