{After-The-Wedding Session} Fort Story Wedding Photography

Wednesday, July 7, 2010 Posted in After the Wedding Sessions, Bridal Portrait, Wedding

More from Beth and Rob’s after-the-wedding session. I photographed their wedding at Fort Story a couple of months ago and since we didn’t get the bride and groom photos we wanted that day, we met up again and recreated the day. We all agreed that the follow-up session was a great opportunity to really enjoy the surroundings, pose with more thought and general take more time. It’s also a chance to get more bridal-style portraits as well. (Check out Beth’s gorgeous photos below!)

I enjoyed it so much that I would love to offer these sessions anytime. If you would like to set up this type of session, please let me know. I will extend a discount from my normal portrait session fee for these sessions since you’ve already invested in wedding day photos.

Prince-George-to-the-Beach Bridal Session: A Few More

Monday, October 20, 2008 Posted in Bridal Portrait, Wedding

I’m finishing up processing on this bridal session and wanted to share a few more. Megan asked if we could get a few shots of her sitting on the sand in her dress and I’m thrilled that she was brave enough to try this – the photos are unique and fun.

The Prince-George-to-the-Beach Bridal Session

Tuesday, October 14, 2008 Posted in Bridal Portrait, Wedding

Megan came down from Prince George for her beach bridal session. I will be traveling up her way in May next year to photograph her wedding and I know it is going to be a blast. My assistants on this shoot were Megan’s mom, dad and good friend Brooke - I could get used to having so many hands available to hold lenses, move the ladder (yes, I use a ladder on some shoots!) and swish the dress in all the right places.

The crew set up shop at our house and I got to experience the excitement when everyone saw Megan in her dress for the first time. And she absolutely glowed! We also had an amazing sunset at the end of the session. Here are some sneak peeks from Megan’s bridal session – I have more work to do on this session, and will hopefully have time to post a few more later this week.

Not a Sneak Peek Bridal Post!

Sunday, September 21, 2008 Posted in Bridal Portrait, Wedding

This session started many years ago – when I met a wonderful girl back in sixth grade! Fast forward…a few years and she recommended me for her sister’s bridal session. What an honor! They grew up near the Thoroughgood House and big sister had her session there a few years ago, so it was the perfect choice for Corinne’s session last weekend.

It was a gorgeous setting – the historical home is just the beginning. There are beautiful gardens in the back and a great, tree-lined street in the front – where Corinne used to rollerskate as a child. So of course we had to take a few fun photos of her in the street! Corinne’s classic, beautiful dress was perfect with the gardens in the background, and I love the ethereal quality of the sun setting behind her in the first couple of photos.

Since she’s getting married next month, I made these photos available to Corinne earlier this week. But I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to share them with you! This is a beautiful location for a variety of portrait sessions – and brides in particular will love the variety of backgrounds to choose from.

And don’t worry…I did Corinne’s engagement session earlier this summer and have been assured that her fiance will not be checking out these photos before the big day.
