Has anybody aver done this or have opinions on it?

Since everyone is straped for time on the big day would it be weird if I did a photography session of just myself the day of my trial? I could knock off a lot of the photos I want to have done.

Besides the obvious what if you stain your dress kind of thing any other thoughts?

    It's actually really common where I'm from to do bridal portraits. I did mine on the day of my trial. I had no problems with my dress and I even took a few outside. It's nice to have some really good pictures in my dress while I'm all done up. And I didn't have to take time out of my wedding day for it.

    The other risks would be changing your mind on your hair, make-up, or jewelry, and the cost of an extra day of the photographer's time. If none of these will be an issue, then go for it.

    Bridal portraits are pretty common in some areas.  If it works out best for you, go for it.

    Those are called bridal portraits. They're very common here. Most brides have them done before the wedding and then put a large framed portrait of themselves somewhere near the cake table. It didn't do that because it's NMS to display something like that at the reception, but I would have absolutely done the portraits themselves if my dress had been ready earlier. Would have saved so much time on the wedding day.

    That seems like a really good idea.
