We photographers take bridal portraits months before your wedding.  It ensures Mom gets a chance to pour over the pictures and choose her favorite.  Photographing early also allows you to have a final  dress fitting if  you found that it didn’t feel quite right while walking around.  But of course, I can’t put bridal portraits on my website until after your wedding!  It’s sooooo hard for me to wait to post bridal pictures! Laura’s wedding finally passed and I have a gem to share with you.  This is my favorite one from the day.  It was shot on Fuji Pro 400 film with my grandpa’s old, twin lens reflex, medium format camera.  The pictures are naturally square (120mm) and make for fun composition.  I had no idea that I would get that luminous, circular sun flare OR that the wind would whisk her veil to the side at the perfect moment.  It’s times like these that I step back and thank God for the small things.  If you want to see more of Laura’s bridal session, The Wedding Row just published them today!

Laura’s bridal session was shot at the College of Charleston Cistern and she rocked that dress!
