This session has become my favorite bridal session to date. Everything about it was fun and different. Besides the fact that the Bride is so nice and so easy to get along with and so incredibly beautiful, she also chose a great location…a real working farm.
When ever I’m viewing engagement, bridal, or wedding images, it takes me right back to those days in my own life. Those memories are so precious. The moments I remember most are the ones that were actually captured in a photograph. I actually did not have a bridal session before I was married or after. Why? That’s a frequently asked question considering I’m a photographer and all. The answer is simple, if I’d had the opportunity to have THESE kinds of images, I’d have done it in a heart beat. But I didn’t see any photographer doing this at that time. I really didn’t want an image of me sitting in a studio with my hands gently resting on the back of a red velvet chair. A chair that I never would have bought for my own home. That didn’t represent me.
These images DO represent her.


Tip: She made her own bouquet from silk flowers for her bridal session. Amazingly convincing.

One of the things she said about her session images was that she had never felt so pretty. And that’s exactly how I want my Brides to feel about their images. And a big part of the reason a Bridal session is worth doing. After the Bridal session, most women will never again have a photo session that features her and her alone.
