Allison wanted a mix of classic bridal portraits as well as some goofier ones- featuring The Essential Feminist Reader and two silly photo-bombers (can you guess who they are?!)

Allison, thanks for such a fun shoot. It’s always nice to slow the pace down and focus on creative portraiture, and your parents’ house was such a lovely setting for most of these pictures. I hope you enjoyed yourself! And props to your dad for holding the reflector and acting as the DJ for us.

Now that Whitney + Brian have tied the knot, I am excited to share these photographs from Whitney’s bridal session from this May.

This session couldn’t have been any more enjoyable. Whitney hails from Western NC and has a natural love of the outdoors and adventure. When I suggested using the Haw River as our portrait setting, Whitney hiked up her dress and dauntlessly bounded from one rock to another over the river.

We chose the Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw, NC for our bridal session spot. This has always been one of my favorite venues to work at, given the proximity of the river and the beautiful natural light inside the ballroom. We made the most of our shoot, trekking from the woods to the river to capture a variety of backdrops.

Whitney, not only are you a stunning bride, but your adventurous spirit made this shoot an absolute pleasure! It’s always a treat when photography feels like play, and I certainly had a blast with you (and your mom!) during this shoot. I can’t wait to finish your wedding photos and share them in just a few weeks! Thanks for being such a breeze to work with!
