Courtney's Bridal Session

I had a great time photographing Courtney yesterday. She is so easy to photograph! She has a really elegant look about her. We started at the studio and then went on location for the rest of the shoot. I was hoping it would cool off a bit, but it was like a sauna outside. We were lucky though and finished before that awful storm came!!
Here are a few of my faves!

Holly's Bridal Session June 15, 2007

I photographed Holly yesterday. We were really worried that it was going to rain, but we got lucky. She called me that morning wondering what to do and I told her we would just have wait and see! She decided that we would go ahead and do the session and it was a great thing we did. When she called to book the session, she said that she knew it would be hot!! Well she got really lucky since it was like 73 degrees!! I was glad we did it too! Neither of us was sweating!!

Here are a few of my faves from her session!

Lindsay's Bridal Session

I photographed Lindsay today. She is a gorgeous and photogenic bride! She is getting married in September at Dennis Vineyards in Albemarle. I know her wedding is going to be gorgeous! I can't wait to shoot at a vineyard again!
Lindsay also has a special talent!! I was really impressed with her bridal bouquet! She made it herself and it was gorgeous! She even had the most intricate lacing around the stems that I have ever seen! It was really fancy! I couldn't believe she did it herself!! I guess I should have posted a picture of that, but oh well--you would much rather see her gorgeous pics!
Here are a few of my faves!

The eyes are definitely the window to the soul. I always try to capture a close ups of the eyes. I think they are one of the best features that people have. That and smiles! Lindsay definitely has both going on!

Amanda's Bridal Session May 21, 2007

I had the pleasure of photographing Amanda today. She looked absolutely stunning and radiant! Her hair and makeup were awesome. She even had sparkly hairspray!!

I think every time I do session with Amanda it is super hot! In December, I photographed her engagement session and I swear it was like 75 or 80 degrees!! I think we had it slightly beat today by about 10 degrees!

By looking at her, you definitely couldn't tell we were melting outside!! I was sweaty and nasty and Amanda was perfection!! I know she was super hot though, because she had on quite a few layers on with all the crinoline.
I'm looking forward to her wedding in August! I'm sure it will be another hot one, but I think we are pros with the heat by now!!

P.S. I also want to thank all of my awesome brides that let me share their bridal portraits on the blog before the wedding!! You girls rock!



Amanda has some amazing eyes and I really wanted to capture that with this headshot!


I loved the gorgeous backlighting in this shot.

Lauren's Bridal Session May 19, 2007

I photographed Lauren today at the studio. She is a gorgeous bride and had the perfect smile. She even had the whole posing thing down pat! She hardly needed my help at all!
Here are a few of my faves!

Ashley's Bridal Session May 18, 2007

I photographed Ashley yesterday in Charlotte. We had a great time walking around getting different shots! I always love working with Ashley because she is so sweet and fun!
I know she is dying to see these so here are a few of my faves!

Tracie's Bridal Session May 14, 2007

Today, I photographed Tracie for her bridal session. She looked amazing! Tracie is getting married on the hottest date of the year! 7-7-07 Her ceremony is going to be at Queen's Landing on the Catawba Queen. That will definitely be a great day to be on the lake! I'm doing her engagement session this week as well! So, you will be seeing more photos of her soon!
Here are a few of my favorites from her session!




This is what a 10 ft. long train looks like! I think it is my first time ever photographing one this fancy!!

Rindy's Bridal Session April 23, 2007

I had a super easy job today!! I got to photograph Rindy. She is a really elegant and gorgeous bride! I had a hard time just picking a few favorites! They were all so beautiful! This is my first time photographing her and it went really well. She is not doing the engagement session and instead is going to do a "We Did" session! This is a session where you put on that nice wedding gown and are not afraid to get it dirty! I think she might even get in the water for me!! That will be a really FUN session!!

Here are a few of my faves!

Kari's Bridal Session April 19, 2007

I photographed Kari yesterday. We did a lot of cool poses and I had a blast. We were lucky b/c as I was getting in my car, it started raining!! Kari looked absolutely amazing and Jerry is going to be like Whoa when he sees her! I can't wait for her wedding next month!
Here are some of my faves from the session!


Kari is on a slide here!! LOL You never know where I will put you!
