Beautiful Bride

Last summer I took a few bridal portraits for my friend B. I was really nervous as I had never taken bridal portraits* before and I know how important they are. Here are some of my favorites. (Don't you just love her dress?! Gorgeous!)




*Here is an explanation of bridal portraits as I know it, for my friends and family in the north where this tradition is not common (as far as I know anyway):

Bridal portraits are formal pictures of the bride in her wedding dress and regalia just as she will appear on her wedding day, taken days or weeks before the wedding. The portraits are often displayed at the wedding or reception, or the bride may frame the photos as a gift to her parents, husband, or grandparents.
