When Crystal with Chez Wedd contacted me about featuring one of my photos on her blog, showcasing bridal sessions at the Lustre Pearl, a local favorite bar, I decided to revisit some of Heather’s photos. I’ve posted a couple of her photos on my blog in the past but never really gave the session the full display. There were so many amazing photo’s from Heather’s rock the dress bridal session that it was almost impossible to narrow down my favorites. Well here they are and I’m still so in love with these photos. This is still one of my favorite photo shoots to date and looking at them makes me want to get out and do more creative shoots like this one. It takes a wiling subject, a professional hair + make up artist, the right styling plus fabulous/interesting clothes and locations. The ever amazing Ellie Vixie performed her magic on the already beautiful Heather. We went old Hollywood glam for the first part of the session showing off Heather’s beauty and then went a little rock-n-roll for the second part of the session. I wanted Heather to look a little edgier and I dare say gritty yet still beautiful. Ellie translated the look beautifully. And let me tell you, Heather rocked the heck out of her dress! I would love to photograph a wedding at the Lustre Pearl. I think it would make the perfect venue for a smaller, more intimate wedding. My fingers are crossed that it will happen one day soon!!

I’m so happy for these two lovebirds. Here is a sneak look at Courtney + Scott’s wedding day!

Monica was so excited to marry Jeremy. It’s written all over her face in these photos. You can view their engagement session here and see just how in love this couple appears to be with one another.  One of my favorite moments was riding in the limo with Monica + her father. She seemed completely in awe of the reality of becoming Mrs. Southerland. It was such a joy to photograph this sweet couple’s winter wedding! We started the day bright and early for their morning ceremony. The reception was held at the UT Golf Club where Monica could not wait to get her dance on with her friends! Because of the early ceremony Monica agreed to allow most of the formal photos to take place at the end of the day so that the light was at its best. I mean seriously the light was to die for…lovvvvve all that natural light! I’m so happy for Monica + Jeremy. You guys are the best!A huge thank you to Nessa for assisting me with this wedding!
