I photographed my own lovely bride’s bridal portraits this year, but I didn’t want to be biased and add hers to the Best Bridal Portrait nominees. However, we have a lot of beautiful brides for this years Benny Awards. Having bridal portraits taken is fun because most brides get their hair and makeup done. It’s sort of a test run for the wedding day, as we do most of these sessions a month or so before the wedding. Also, brides love getting to put on their dress more than once, and it makes this day very special.
These Best Bridal Portrait nominees were chosen because for different reasons. Perhaps, it was the bride bursting out laughing as I snapped the photo. Or maybe it was the incredible location we choose to shoot. Maybe it was that the bride found the perfectly fitting dress and totally rocked it. In every case, these bridal portraits are as stunning as the brides themselves.
Have a peek and choose your favorite below.
Other Benny Awards Categories:
Best Engagement Portrait Nominees
Best Wedding Portrait Nominees
And this year, I’m adding in two non-wedding portrait categories for your voting pleasure! While I’ve primarily been a wedding photographer for the past decade, many of my couples have gone on to have families. As my family and portrait clients have grown, I’ve felt an increasing need to represent them in the Benny Awards! This year I broke it into two categories:
Best Family and Baby Portrait Nominees
Senior and Style Portrait Nominees

What are the Benny Awards?
Dale from Benfield Photography throws The Benny Awards party each year for his couples. At the party, the winners earn real prizes for each category, such as best wedding kiss and best wedding shoes. Also, this year Dale added two non-wedding categories because so many of this clients are already married and he wanted them to be represented.
