Derek Harley - Hi Philip. You use different terms for different types of shoot (e.g. Engagement, wedding, bridal). Engagement and wedding are obvious but is bridal something different? Is this just the bride and is it shot separately from the wedding shoot? Love your work. It’s hugely influential and aspirational stuff.

October 28, 2012 - 9:26 am

Derek Harley - Sorry Philip. I’ve just read the commentary from this shoot again and see that the wedding and bridal shoot were on different days. I’ll read more carefully next time ;-)

October 28, 2012 - 3:40 pm

Philip Thomas - Hey Derek,

Yes. Bridal sessions are popular here in the deep south more than other parts of the country. Taken prior to the wedding day with a portrait displayed at the reception.

Thanks for your kind comments.
