Why LDS Brides Love Pre-Sealing Photos at the Temple in Dallas Texas

As a Latter-day Saint bride, your temple sealing is one of the most sacred and meaningful moments of your life. And while the day itself will be full of beauty, joy, and spiritual depth, it will also move quickly. That’s why more and more brides are choosing to schedule a bridal photoshoot at the temple in Dallas Texas before their actual wedding day—and for good reason.

Here’s why you might consider doing the same...

Soak in the Sacred Space Without the Rush

Wedding days are joyful but busy—from getting ready, driving to the temple, the sealing to family photos, group shots, then driving to your reception (or luncheon), etc. With so much going on it's you only get a few minutes to enjoy each aspect. Scheduling a pre-wedding bridal session at the temple in Dallas Texas allows you to soak in the peace and beauty of the temple grounds with your fiancé without any time pressure. You’ll have the chance to walk, pose, and reflect without needing to rush to the next moment.

Capture Timeless Portraits in the Best Light

Let’s be honest—Texas light can be intense, and temple photos on your wedding day don’t always land at the golden hour. With a scheduled bridal session, we can plan around the best lighting conditions (like early morning or late afternoon) to create soft, glowing portraits that feel elegant and timeless.

This also gives us flexibility in case of weather, which can be a lifesaver during hot summers or unpredictable spring days in the DFW area.

Do a Dress, Hair, and Makeup Dry-Run—Before the Big Day

You’ve put so much thought into your bridal look—your dress, veil, bouquet, hair, and makeup. A bridal session gives you the chance to see it all come together before the big day, and gives your beauty team a trial run in real conditions. Plus, these portraits often become some of a bride’s most cherished images—calm, joyful, and full of anticipation.

Create a Peaceful, Spiritual Experience

There’s something deeply personal and spiritual about walking the temple grounds in your wedding dress—just you, your photographer, and the stillness of that holy place. Many brides have said their bridal session became a moment of spiritual reflection, helping them feel centered and focused before their sealing.

*Bonus: You can use the Photos for Your Reception*

Your temple bridal portraits make beautiful additions to your wedding announcement, guest book, or reception décor. Having those photos ready ahead of time gives you the chance to create keepsakes and displays that showcase the sacredness of your union.
