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.

Lindsey & Jarin are the type of couple that make being in love look natural and effortless. Their interactions are so sweet and genuine and it was really a treat to get to capture some of those moments for them. Jarin is in the Army and was out of the state just up until their wedding in May, and left again soon after. He and Lindsey squeezed this session in during his brief visit home last week and I’m SO glad they did!
