Both Jean & James are very much into music so the theme for her bridal session was a perfect fit.

We started the session off at James’ drum set. :)

Next up was his guitar.  (i’m sure she’ll get in trouble later for not holding it just right.)

Finally we ended up with her saxophone.

Thanks for a great session everyone.  See you in a few weeks!

Yesterday was Part 1 of Davi & Jonathan’s interview.
Today, Davi talks about the moment that could have ruined her wedding and what she chose to do about it.  Enjoy.

Also, in case you missed them, here are a few photos from their sessions.

So last time it snowed you were treated to a couple of posts of my kids outside playing.  Well, this time, we played even harder, but I’m pretty sure you’re tired of seeing them so how about a bridal session in the snow!  I called a few of my past brides yesterday morning and told them if they were in town and could throw their dress on they would be treated to a free bridal session.  Brianne was an Elmwood Gardens bride a couple of years ago and she called me back right away and was ready to go in 1 hour.  (Did you catch that ladies? She went from sitting at home with her 2 year old, to in a dress, hair up, makeup on in 1 hour!!!!  No more excuses about running late on the wedding day.)

She told me every time she sees her wedding dress she wishes she could put it on and wear it around again so I was thrilled to make her Christmas wish come true. :)

Two quick facts about the session.
1: I only wore sweatpants and a t-shirt so that I would be reminded of how cold it was outside and not freeze her to death.
2. We were only outside a total of 9 minutes.  It was my shortest bridal session ever, but I’m pretty happy with the results.

Davi and her mom were an absolute blast to work with. It’s funny because they kept telling me they wanted to do whatever I said, but then kept suggesting poses and then apologizing for it after. :) We had so much fun driving around town and I’m so stoked about so many of the shots we got.

Davi is getting married out at Elmwood Gardens but wanted a few shots at a church looking all fancy and bride-ly. I think she pulled it off.  

This next shot may be one of my favorite bridal session moments of all time. She is super close to her Great Aunt, but she will not be able to come to the wedding so Davi asked if we could stop by her home and do a few shots of the two of them together and let her see her in the dress. Apparently Davi did not get the memo that brides are supposed to be into themselves and their day and everyone else is supposed to revolve around them. I’m not quite sure why she is thinking of others but I went along with it.  

She will be wearing these on the wedding day. Ingram will be her new last name. (They are also doubling as her “something blue”.)  

Both her fiance’ and her dad served in the armed forces so a tank was a natural fit.  

Also, for all of you looking at this picture and freaking out about things getting dirty, don’t worry.  We kept the tank clean.
 

With her wedding only a few weeks away, we went all over Palestine getting these shots. Here are a few of my favorites.  

She brought her mother’s veil just so she could make fun of her. :) AWESOME!
