The Portrait House – Bride FAQ
An elevated, editorial portrait experience for weddings designed to give your guests timeless, studio-quality photographs they’ll cherish.
The Portrait House is not a booth — it’s a luxury portrait experience. We create editorial, studio-quality images using professional lighting, a clean backdrop, and guided posing to ensure every guest looks amazing. Think of it as bringing a fashion photography set to your wedding.
Guests step into our portrait set, where they are photographed in a flattering, elevated style. A certified professional photographer guides guests, keeps the flow smooth, and makes the experience fun and effortless. An assistant is present for the duration of the shoot carefully retouching each image to be printed.
Most couples choose cocktail hour (perfect for capturing guests at their best) or reception (when energy is high and guests are mingling). We can also schedule both for full coverage throughout the evening and help build a timeline that fits seamlessly into your event.
Your guests receive beautiful, editorial-quality portraits printed on site and available before the event is over. You also receive a link to the complete gallery within 48 hours. Print options, heirloom albums, and framed art are available.
