YES YES YES YES!!!
I LOVE veils! I ALWAYS recommend to my brides to have a veil, even if you don’t want to wear one during the ceremony or the reception, they look amazing in the photos! I can attest to the fact that veils can add a unique and beautiful element to wedding photos. The way a veil catches the light can create a dreamy, ethereal effect that is both romantic and timeless.
One of the most stunning shots that can be captured with a veil is the classic "veil lift" photo. This is when the groom lifts the bride's veil, revealing her face for the first time as a married couple. This moment is filled with emotion and can create a beautiful photo that is sure to be cherished for years to come.
However, my favourite veil moments come during sunset. Throw that veil over the both of you, and share a moment under together! I love to jump underneath with the couples, and I get to capture some of the most love-filled photos from the day this way.
Another way that veils can be used in photos is to create movement. When the bride is walking or the wind is blowing, the veil can flow behind her, creating a sense of movement and fluidity in the photo. This can create a sense of movement and add a dynamic element to the photo.
It's important to note, however, that veils can be tricky to photograph. If the veil is not secured properly, it can fly around in the wind or get caught on objects, causing frustration for both the bride and photographer. Additionally, the veil can cast shadows or create harsh lighting if not positioned correctly. As a photographer, it's important to be aware of these potential challenges and to work with the bride to ensure that the veil is positioned and secured properly for photos.
Overall, the decision to wear a veil on your wedding day can have a significant impact on your wedding photos. If you choose to wear a veil, it's important to work with your photographer to ensure that it is captured in a way that enhances your photos and adds to the overall look and feel of your wedding day. Whether you choose to wear a veil or not, the most important thing is that you feel beautiful and confident on your special day.
