How It Works
Please start by selecting a package, and we can build from there!
Each Alternative Bride is unique to us, and every client receives a custom file to keep all selected services organized for a smooth, stress-free experience.
Alternative — defined as “one or more things available as another possibility.” Whether your wedding is traditional, non-traditional, or something wonderfully in between, our elevated team is here to bring out your most authentic, confident, and unique self on your big day.
We serve brides with disabilities and accessibility needs, cosmetic allergies, hair loss solutions, and LGBTQIA+.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you handle bridal parties larger than 5? How does that work?
A: Yes! We have a network of talented licensed cosmetologists and aestheticians who share our vision of making you and your bridal party look and feel your absolute best. If we are unable to accommodate a service within our core team, we will discuss and coordinate with our trusted partners before fully committing to your event. Their individual rates are handled directly with them and will not affect your package price. Gratuity is always appreciated separately and per technician.
Q: If someone drops out after being included in the deposit or contract, can I get my money back?
A: All deposits and bridal contracts are structured so that our technicians are fully compensated for their time and materials—meaning package pricing will not be reduced if someone drops out. You are welcome to fill that spot with another person of your choice. If you wish to add services after the contract is signed (including on the wedding day), it will depend solely on technician availability and time within the wedding schedule, and requests may be declined if necessary.
Q: What is the turnaround time for photos?
A: Please allow up to two weeks for photo delivery. In the unlikely event you request revisions, re‑editing must be submitted within 48 hours of receiving your gallery.
Why Book Us?
We work as a specialized complement to your wedding photographer and videographer — not a replacement. Our passion lies in creating elevated, editorial‑style images that go beyond standard coverage. We focus on glamorous, curated moments rather than cake cuttings, dance‑floor shots, or traditional behind‑the‑scenes captures. Think of us as your luxury layer of photography — a resource dedicated to creating striking, timeless portraits and intimate, stylized moments that enhance the beautiful basics provided by your main photo and video team. If you have specific requests please inquire.
