Are there photo studios that could take staged wedding photos in their studios that also have tux and dress?

Question

We had a very simple wedding so we want to take some really nice staged pics in studio. Do they have studios that do this and also rent clothes like wedding dresses and tuxes? Any in Virginia that you know of?

Answer 1

Never ever heard of any photography studios that rent tuxes and wedding gowns . . . .  at least, none in my area.

Every once in awhile, one will hear of a place like the above . . .  a photography studio that takes photos in the old-timey costumes.

I think if you want wedding photos, you two will need to provide (or rent) the tux and the wedding gown yourselves.

Or . . .

You could just wear a simple white or ivory dress.  Groom could wear a regular suit.  There is really no need for you to spend lots of money on something that will only be worn briefly for a photo.  Wear something that you can wear again for another occasion.

Answer 2

Look in your Yellow Pages. I found 3 on one page in my area that do just that.

Answer 3

Renting a dress can be just as expensive as buying one second hand.... check out consignment stores in your area.... the better the area, the better the dress...

If you are trying to save money on it (and actually buy a second hand dress, which is what I'm going to do) go to a nearby college/university, and have a photography student do the pics for almost nothing.... they are eager to add wedding pics to their portfolios!
