Duke Gardens Bridal Portrait :: Lauren http://sweetlifephoto.com/blog/2011/06/17/duke-gardens-bridal-portrait-lauren/ http://sweetlifephoto.com/blog/2011/06/17/duke-gardens-bridal-portrait-lauren/#comments Fri, 17 Jun 2011 02:37:05 +0000 Elizabeth Myers http://sweetlifephoto.com/blog/?p=1875 When I met Lauren and her mom Kelly at Duke Gardens for her bridal portrait session, I gasped when I walked into the room and the bride-to-be turned around. She literally took my breath away! Her white satin gown had the most gorgeous asymmetrical pleating on the bodice. So one-of-a-kind, just like Lauren. She has a truly infectious laugh and her smile has a life of its own! I quickly learned that this was one bride who would not be giving me any of the angsty-fashionista pouts that seem to be so common these days in bridal portraits -- she was going to smile and smile big. I think the third photo down is one of my all-time favorites. I just love a bride who's so happy she can't help laughing!

Black and white portrait of Jessie with bridal veil

 

 

Jessie chose to wear a veil that has been in T.J.'s family since the early 1900's. It was absolutely beautiful.

Thank you, Jessie, for the privilege of photographing you!
