A Southern Wedding Tradition that has started to take hold around the world is the bridal portrait session. This is a pre-wedding session designed JUST for the bride. I love bridal sessions because I get to photograph my sweet brides when they are feeling perhaps the MOST beautiful they’ve ever felt, but without all the commotion of the actual wedding day going on around them. It’s a really special shoot that allows me to focus on and capture the bride, and all of the beautiful details (like the ring, veil, intricacies of her gown, etc.) in an environment that is truly all about her and commemorating this once-in-a-lifetime season she is in.

Jeff & Jill’s Aspen Hall wedding in Bend, Oregon left me with a full heart. Full because every detail was so beautiful. Full because every person I interacted with was so kind. Full because Jeff & Jill have a connection that is awe-inspiring and it filled me to the brim to witness their sweet, joyful love all day long.
