Lily {Bridal}

Lily is my gorgeous October Bride. I was very excited when she asked me to take her Bridal Portraits. I first met Lily and her groom, Chris back in April. I shot their engagement pictures when we met to go over the wedding details. They are a very cool and confident couple. Above pictured is Chris' daughter, Hayley. She was such a sweet addition to these Bridal Portraits. This location was a perfect place. It ties in so well with their wedding details, which I will share with you shortly. Mmmm...make that in a few weeks. The wedding was just last night and I have to cull some images. Enjoy! 

Kaitlyn {Bridal}

Kaitlyn was on of my August Brides. This beautiful Bridal Portrait Session was taken at Big Mill Bed & Breakfast in Williamston. We took these in July and boy was it hot outside. Kaitlyn and her little entourage of important women in her life were some troopers. Kailtyn made it look effortless to look stunning and composed in the heat of the summer. I enjoyed walking on the grounds. It truly is a lovely place. A couple of things that were sentimental to Kaitlyn that she wanted to have photographed with her was the blue quilt seen in image #2. This was the quilt that Kaitlyn used as her Guest Book at her wedding. What a great idea, right! The other, you'll see in image #3 the door behind her was the room that her & Tyler stayed in on their wedding night. How romantic! Love these and love Kailtyn!

Margaret {Bridal Portraits}

Oh My Goodness! My palms have been so sweaty over these Bridal Portraits. How gorgeous is Margaret! I've had these in a folder for about 5 weeks. My pointer finger has been tempted many times to press send. Margaret's wedding was last night in Oriental. So, now I have the permission to share her Bridal Portraits with you.
I met Margaret & her sweet mama in New Bern at Tryon Palace. This cute little historic city by the river holds a special place in my heart. I am so blessed that I had the opportunity to photograph Margaret here. Tryon has changed quite a bit since Beau & I lived in New Bern. We were escorted by golf cart to the main entrance to purchase our tickets. Margaret changed into her dress while I walked around to take in the new fancy brick building. The new building holds the ticket booth, gift shop, and little interactive rooms with videos to educate visitors about Tryon Palace. I mentally checked New Bern on our "places we must visit" for the summer break.
Margaret walked out and looked stunning! She was so easy to photograph. I don't think there was a frame that I didn't use. Absolutely beautiful! Here are a few of my takes on her Bridal Session.

The Bridal Session with Katie

Katie's wedding was this weekend. I have had her lovely Bridal Session in a folder waiting to be blogged and shared for about 4 weeks now. It is so hard for photographers to wait to share recent images, especially of this nature. I mean, how gorgeous is she? This last picture is my absolute favorite. Her most beautiful features are highlighted by the halo of light around her precious face. Katie and her daughter, Carlie, were so fun to photograph. Her mom and her best friend tagged along to make sure all the details were just right. Having a second pair of eyes is so helpful and the moral support helped the bride relax in front of the camera. Once we got rolling though she was a natural in front of the camera. Enjoy these and stay tuned for her wedding details that will be shared in a few weeks. Congratulations Katie! I am so happy for you.

Bridal Session Today!

Pembroke Hall is an amazing historic house on the market in Edenton, NC. How beautiful is this place! I got to shoot a Bridal Portrait Session here today. You think this is a pretty sight, just wait until you see this gorgeous bride and her little girl that I got to snap some pictures of. As all Bridal's go...you'll have to wait until after the wedding day. It won't be long though. Only 5 weeks to go. I cannot wait for the wedding of Katie & Jason. They have such a cool story too. I'm looking forward to sharing their special with you. I'll keep you posted.
