Carey’s Bridal Portraits (featuring Zoe)

One of the best things about my job is that every bride, every couple, every wedding and every shoot is different. I am so rarely bored. It's so nice to get excited about going to work! Here's my first bridal session with two gorgeous females: Carey and Zoe, her adorable chihuahua. Don't you just love that she was relaxed enough about her dress to hold her dog??

Zoe works it for the camera in the shot on the right, then graces me with her smile in the shot on the left!

Zoe, ready for her close-up. Check her pretty pink rhinestone collar. Carey's bouquet is pretty sweet, too.

Ahh...puppy love!

Carey's mom was on hand to pooch-sit so that we could also get some more traditional poses. Just bee-you-tee-FULL!!!

A classic pose on the steps at Duke Gardens. Carey's dress was simply stunning. The sash detail was really pretty and different. I loved that she didn't wear a veil so that the sash wouldn't be hidden.

This shot makes me think of Cinderella.

My favorite. Carey, thanks for allowing me to photograph you in all your bridal gorgeousness! Give Zoe a belly-rub for me!
