day off and so we drove to Charlottesville to meet a friend for lunch and then drove through the rolling hills to Barboursville Vineyard . We were meeting Laura there to shoot her bridal session and as soon as we pulled up, I knew this was going to be a fun one! Old ruins? Fields of daffodils?! Yes please! Laura looked amazing and so natural. I never did a bridal session before my wedding and every time I shoot one for somebody else, It makes me wish I had! Maybe I still will! Bridal sessions are awesome because they allow the bride to get comfortable in her dress AND in her shoes! It’s like a trial run!
The hair gets done, the makeup is on and the bride gets a glimpse of what she’ll look like on her wedding day! The other great advantage of a bridal shoot is that I get to be with the bride one more time before her big day! When I was with Laura on her wedding day this past Saturday, I felt like we had JUST hung out!… Maybe that’s because WE DID! During Laura’s bridal session I not only got to see her, but her whole bridal shoot entourage! Her mom, dad and mistress of ceremonies came to watch and be a part of the shoot. So while Michael was talking to Laura’s dad about everything history related, us girls had fun posing and finding awesome light! Enjoy some of my favorites and get excited for Laura and Craig’s wedding on Thursday!
Thomas Jefferson….even thought this house burnt down… your ruins still look awesome!!!
Believe it or not… these are BOXWOODS….and they are probably over 100 years old! They are HUGE!
Oh where do I begin? This wasn’t just another wedding for me. This was a legacy KJ Wedding and I have been looking forward to it ever since my first email from Danny and Megan!
I’m really excited about this YouTube video because I know that it resonates with ALL photographers who photograph PEOPLE!!
Have you ever walked into a client experience and realized “oh wow, this is not what I was expecting?” ….
