How to Choose the ONE 16x20 Bridal Portrait

JBandJo

It has been done at a lot of friends' weddings, and in my family.  During the reception, there will be a 16x20 bridal portrait on display.  I had a wonderful time with my photographer and as a result, have a ton of awesome pictures.   How should I pick THE one picture?  Does it have to just be a headshot, or should I go for a full body portrait?  Should I be standing in the pic or sitting?, etc.  What requirements should there be when choosing the ONE picture?

Thanks!

Wich one speaks the clearest to you.  When I saw the ones my daughter had done, there were many that were beautiful...but one that I kept coming back to.  That's the one I chose.  Full body, so you get the whole dress

I agree w/ PP. There's probably one that your really can't take your eyes off!

I tend to agree that the best shot is the one you feel is the best portrait of yourself. However, bridals tend to be more about the dress and having the entire dress in the photo. Some brides dont think about it until it is mentioned. You need to ask yourself if the full dress in your portrait is one of the important thngs for you. Then go from there.
