Do I wear a veil or not? The wedding veil is one of the oldest wedding traditions, symbolizing modesty and purity. The veil can add so much glamour to a photograph. With this bride she wore a beautiful veil that enhanced her look on her wedding day. If the thought of wearing the veil all day is something that seems burdensome then just wear it for your photographs. I love to use the veil in all sorts of creative ways! With this bride we took her outside to have the wind catch it just enough to create some flow in the veil. If she didn’t have the veil it would’ve been a pretty picture but having the veil I was able to create a stunning picture.
