Engagement sessions are an amazing way to get comfortable in front of the camera, and I highly recommend them to all of my wedding clients. But even the most amazing engagement sessions have been done.

Forever a fan of engagement sessions... BUT WAIT...

Your Maid of Honor (or bestie) has been there through it ALL. She’s the one who hypes you up, knows your best angles, and will probably be adjusting your veil on the big day. So why not celebrate that bond with a session dedicated just to the two of you? This is your chance to slow down and soak in this season together before the wedding whirlwind begins. And a chance to celebrate the last moment of your single girl era.

Have your MODEL MOMENT with your Bestie by your side.

Be the ultimate maximalist. Do both. Add a bestie session alongside your engagement session! Use it as a fun pre-wedding activity. Plan it to be complete with mimosas, music, and major main character energy.

Trade a gift registry for custom art with your platonic soulmate. Many brides are embracing modernity with creating their own ways of celebrating. So, if you’re skipping a bridal shower, a bestie session is a perfect way to replace that celebration! Bonus: It’s another excuse to get glammed up and create photos you’ll actually want to print, frame, and cherish forever.

Why a Bestie Session with Ivey Photo?

One of the best parts of hiring me for your wedding photography is that I am a luxury boudoir specialist, so I know exactly how to pose women in the most flattering, confidence-boosting way. But more than that, I create an experience where you feel effortless, beautiful, and like the main character you are.

This is NOT meant to be a humbling experience. This is a full hype-up situation.

Whether you want chic editorial vibes, a cozy spa-day aesthetic, or full-on hype girl energy, we’ll design a session that feels like you.

And if you want to memorialize your session with prints or a luxury album, you've come to the right place. Ivey Photo is a full service photography brand that can also service you through printing cherished heirlooms of your session. This is a gift that you and your bestie will treasure forever.

A luxury experience to share with the lady you love the most who will be standing by your side on the best day of your life.

BE ICONIC.

If this sounds like an idea you're into, you sound like my kind of bride + bestie dream duo. Whether it’s just you and your bestie or your whole bridal squad, we’ll make magic happen.
