These last 8 were from a roll of Portra 400 mixed in throughout the day.

I really loved Casey’s bridal session. She wanted to go for something classic but also mix in a vintage-y, artsy vibe, and I’m really excited about what we came up with. Hope you enjoyed, and keep an eye out for her + Chris’s wedding coming soon! You can check out their wedding preview here.

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing Allie + Eric’s beautiful wedding at the Glassy Chapel, and I’m very excited to share some of those later this week. But now, it’s finally time to share some of Allie’s bridal session that we shot this past August (as in, 7 months ago)! Talk about sitting on images for a while waiting to post them! Allie got her dress in really early, and she wanted a warm summer farm shoot. Her now husband Eric has a farm, tractors, etc. on his property and she wanted to surprise him by incorporating that into her bridal session. I think her shoot was a total success, and I hope you enjoy a selection of my favorites!

After leaving the farm, we headed into the studio for a completely different, beautifully classic feel that Allie rocked.

I had so much fun shooting Mollie’s bridal session back at the beginning of July. She wanted to do an all-indoor session and I think we rocked it. I’m absolutely loving having the studio as an option for shoots and client meetings now, and the 95-100º heat we’ve been having lately lined up perfectly for us to stay inside. Mollie has been a good friend for several years now, and I was so excited to shoot her bridals. She looked stunning and I LOVED her dress. A beautiful strapless bubble hem gown that was handmade for her in New York and fit her like a glove. Enjoy a few of my favorites!

After a quick veil addition and a location change, we kept rolling.

This black & white shot is a new favorite bridal image. I love the raw, candid feel.

Mollie – you’re seriously gorgeous.

Keep checking for Mollie + David’s wedding post coming up later this week!

Amy’s bridal session was a blast! The weather threatened to shift things around, but luckily everything worked out just perfect. While Amy was finishing up with her hair appointment, lightning may have been striking off in the distance. But that’s ok! The distance was far far away – I’d never endanger a bride just for the shot…maybe. The storm’s edge may have been just out of reach, but the winds that came with it stayed behind a little and I think we used it to our advantage! After the shoot was over, it thrilled me to hear Amy say, “I’m SO glad I did that! I feel so confident now!” Bridal sessions rock for several reasons, but this might be the new list topper. I’m so excited for Amy + Brett, and their wedding this weekend was fantastic. Keep an eye out for their wedding post later this week (sneak peek here)! (Also, a shout-out to the amazing Erin Silver for her beautiful job on Amy’s hair!)

Welllll…I had intended to publish this post at around, say, 2:00 this afternoon. That is, until a midday nap snuck up on me in a very cruel way and took me out like an elephant tranquilizer. Ahem, anyways… Meeting a client to shoot in a place I’ve never seen is always an adventure! But I love the creative challenge of finding locations and bringing things together to create a beautiful image. Mallory’s bridal session was right at the end of April in Sumter, SC. For the end of April, temperatures were, well, a little warm, but she knocked it out of the park. Her dress fit her perfectly and she was beaming. I got into town and she took me on a little tour of the area to show me a few places she’d scouted out ahead of time – I think she did very well! The shoot was a blast and I love the images we got. Check out a few of my favorites and stay tuned for her and Jacob’s wedding post later this week!

Love this glowy light!

The last two locations weren’t planned at all. We were en route to one final location when we passed this beautiful field and grove of trees. Some opportunities are too hard to pass up! The awesome couple who owned this field were gracious enough to let us use it for a little while as long as I promised to show them a few of the shots when we finished. Done deal! As far as the grove of trees goes, hopefully the forestry association never saw us sneak in from the road.
