Bridal portraits are such a strange thing, they are so exciting and so much work but you have to keep them secret and once the wedding comes and goes, they often get forgotten. I am still so relieved when a bride wants to do them because of one thing. Trial run.

Of everything. Your hair, make up, wearing your dress for a long period of time (you’ll probably sweat more than you imagined on your dream day), even your flowers (they are probably heavier than you realized.)

I knew Chelsea’s wedding day would go by so fast so one of my main goals was to get a few extra shots of her family because you can’t have too many 🙂
