Before the vows.

What the Bridal Gift includes

• A relaxed consultation first, to plan your looks and talk through anything you're unsure about.
• A guided, unhurried session of about two hours, with Simone on set the whole time.
• Bridal styling: your veil, your wedding lingerie, something of your partner's.
• A private reveal where you choose your favourite images.
• A 20-page art album with an acrylic cover, made to be opened on the morning of the wedding.

Hair and makeup can be added. Ask when you enquire.

When to book

Aim for at least six to eight weeks before the wedding, so there's time for your session, your reveal and your album without adding to the last-minute rush. Tell Simone your wedding date and we'll plan backwards from it.

Give it as a gift

Bridesmaids, a hens group, a sister or a partner can give the Bridal Gift as a voucher. Many groups share it between them. The bride books her own date, privately, whenever she's ready.

• Choose "Gift voucher" on the enquiry form and tell us who it's for.
• Simone will reply with the details and a voucher you can print or send.
• The bride's session and images stay private to her. Nobody who bought the voucher sees them.

What to bring

• Your veil, or a spare one, if you'd like it in frame.
• Wedding-day lingerie, a slip or a robe.
• Something of your partner's: a shirt, a tie or a note.
• Your garter, heels or jewellery from the day.
