You guys, I can’t emphasize enough how much I believe in a separate bridal portrait session.  What a great way to see what your dress is going to feel like as you move around and have little portrait time.  It’s also a great idea to do a trial for hair and makeup. I also love that there’s a great option to have two different looks, one for the bridal portrait and one for the actual wedding day.  I have been shooting bridal portraits since 2007 so I am confident, it’s worth the investment.  Courtney and I had a great time at her session and her sweet Mom and Nana as well as her cousins were there to help her.  We had a great time together, but most of all, I loved that this session was all centered around Courtney.  It’s also a fabulous time to choose a location outside of the wedding venue or engagement session location and bring variety to your photo gallery.  I absolutely love capturing traditional portraits, but I also love tying in personality and fun.  I’m loving these images of sweet Courtney and excited to capture so many of my brides this coming year!!
