You’ve seen their engagement photos – and now, since the wedding day on Saturday, the bridal photos I took of Lisa can come out of hiding and be shown to the world. Lisa kept her dress a big secret, as most brides do until their wedding day, and she looked gorgeous the day of. I don’t think there’s any argument that she looks fabulous in the pre-wedding bridal session we did previously this summer. We met up for a day to do both and honestly I couldn’t be happier with how it went. Sometimes a photo-session can be stressful because of time, weather, etc… and so afterwards I might wonder if I captured everything I wanted. Okay, I kind of felt like that after the bridal session. That is until I sat down and edited them, and realized I had nothing to worry about. I was really happy with the bw/ slightly sepia tone I gave some of the photos and think it fits them perfectly. Kind of the vintage black and white photo look that is also so timeless – and for any type of wedding photo, it’s perfect.


We started in a more urban looking spot but quickly moved to the fields which gave us the romantic country background and set the stage for the rest of the photos. I guess it’s also a recurring theme in my photos, probably because that’s what I’m close to.






The umbrella really was needed but of course was also the perfect prop. Thankfully it didn’t rain that much and the dress survived unharmed. So, if you’re thinking about doing a session like this for yourself, we can either work it into your wedding package or do it on it’s own. Yes, your wedding might have already happened but maybe you didn’t get the pictures you wanted in your dress… I know it’s true because I’ve had several people tell me about experiences like that. So,you’ll just have to contact me if you want something like this of your own.




Lisa is completely gorgeous! Let me know what you think and does anyone have a favorite? It’s hard to choose – which is why I put so many in the post. enjoy!
