“I want you to be bluntly honest with me” she said, then she asked if I would do her bridal pictures that afternoon! Now, anyone who knows me knows that I can be ‘bluntly honest’. I had a 4 week old baby and had not done a shoot in about 5 weeks, so I was bluntly honest and told Abby that I would love to do her bridal pictures!

I was a little sad about leaving my newborn for the first time, but was super excited to get behind the camera again!

Her wedding photographer planned to do her bridal pictures but then the forcast showed rain and it was just easier for Abby to get the pictures done before the rain hit, and her photographer was not able to work that out. So, that is why Abby called me and asked me to do a last minute shoot for her. And I was happy to help!

Abby had already picked out all the locations she wanted to shoot at, so she just came by and picked me up and we had some fun and captured some great pictures. I love shooting Bridal pictures or Day After pictures because I love to shoot girls all dressed up in their wedding gowns, and since I don’t do weddings that is the only way it happens for me!

Here are some of my favorites:

Each of the locations Abby chose had some special meaning to her fiancée, and she wanted these pictures to be special to him.

I personally love the look and feel of these last two! I love the contrast of her spinning around in her gown in a this old store setting…. Add in the fact that this store is an old hang-out spot for her new husband and it makes the picture extra special!
