Last Saturday—June 14, 2025—this radiant woman became Mrs. Nixon. Before the joyful whirlwind of the wedding day, we stepped into a quieter moment to capture Anna’s Bridal Portraits!
To me, there is something truly special about photographing a bride in the calm before the celebration begins. Bridal portraits offer a unique pause—a true moment for a bride to simply be. No tight timeline, no flurry of activity. Just light, laughter, and the gentle anticipation of what’s to come.
I’m so excited to finally share a handful of my favorites with you!
The Why Behind Bridal Portraits:
Many of my brides ask if a separate portrait session is worth it. My answer?
ABSOLUTLEY!!!!
And here’s why:
• You’ll create heirloom-quality images without the pressure of a packed timeline.
• It’s a chance to test-drive your hair, makeup, and bouquet ahead of the big day.
• And one of my favorite traditions? Displaying a framed bridal portrait at the guest-book table or reception entrance.
It’s more than a photo session—it’s part of the story.
