A Luxury Bridal Experience – A New Era of Bridal Portraits

As a Jekyll Island, Sea Island, and St. Simons Island wedding photographer, I believe a bride’s portrait experience should feel just as extraordinary as her wedding day. The gown, the glam, the emotion – these moments deserve more than the typical 12 rushed minutes between hair and makeup and the timeline calling us elsewhere. I envisioned offering a luxury bridal experience.

That belief sparked the creation of something new, elevated, and wonderfully intentional:
The Studio Couture Bridal Session

What Makes a Couture Bridal Session Different

The Studio Couture Bridal Session is designed for brides who want more than photos – they want art.

In the comfort of a studio, without the stress of weather, timelines, or venues, we focus solely on creating iconic, editorial bridal portraits. Think Vogue meets heirloom – dramatic lighting, film + digital photography, refined posing direction, and room to breathe.

This is not a replacement for wedding portraits.
It is a luxury chapter of the bridal experience all its own.

Why Brides Love It

Brides choose a studio couture bridal session because it offers:

• A calm, unrushed atmosphere
• Complete styling freedom – A perfect chance for a HMU trial, veils, gloves, capes, second gowns, dramatic florals
• The opportunity to include sentimental elements — heirloom jewelry, handwritten vows, the groom’s gift, mother-daughter moments
• Artistic control from every angle — lighting, backdrop, composition, posing

Most importantly, it allows you to fully experience being a bride, without distractions.

Film, Digital & Dramatic Lighting

This session blends film and digital photography for a dual aesthetic – the raw emotion and nostalgic texture of film paired with the crisp, modern detail of digital.

Professional studio lighting and/or natural lighting sculpts every angle, ensuring portraits that feel cinematic and couture – the type of images meant to be framed, displayed, and passed down.

Perfect for the Southern Bride With Style

Whether you are marrying at Sea Island, Jekyll Island, Palmetto Bluff, or anywhere across the Georgia, Florida, or South Carolina coast, the Studio Couture Bridal Session is designed for brides who want:

• Timeless, editorial portraits
• A luxury experience centered around artistry
• An heirloom beyond the wedding album

It is a stunning complement to coastal and Southern celebrations – bringing a high-fashion studio look to a classic Southern wedding story.

Availability

To preserve the intentional and elevated nature of this experience, only six studio couture bridal sessions are available per year.

This offering is exclusively for brides who are already booked for wedding photography.
