becca's bridals.

you should probably know
that the stars were aligned
when i found where i wanted
to take sweet little becca
for her bridals.

i was driving around scoping out
possibilities; all the while,
talking with my best friend on the phone.
when, in mid sentence, i stopped--
and whispered "i found it".

wow, was that dramatic?...yeah, i can get like that.
needless to say, i was pretty jazz hands
about these pictures!

thanks, becca for letting me DRAG you around
in the snow and cold and...
an extra special thanks for being cool
about trespassing during parts of our adventure...oopsies.
(you gotta do what you gotta do).

oh, and thanks to the keelers for letting me
borrow your sweet chair at the last minute :)

behold:

nicole's bridals.

brace yourself...
i'm going to be corny...
but corny is
okay if i'm being
totally honest right?

right.

i cannot say enough about this girl.
(nope, that's not the corny part)
we started the bridals and with every
snap of the camera i just kept
"oooh"ing and "ahhh"ing over
what a princess she looked like.

yep that was the cheesy part.

i hate when people use the word princess.
it seems so snotty and pink and feathery
and obnoxious and spoiled...but
i'm talking about a REAL princess...
i don't know any real princesses
but i'd like to think that they are kind
and beautiful and elegant and smart and put together.

that's nicole.

i am so happy to have worked with her
during one of the happiest moments of her
life and i feel like i've gained a friend.

roof top love.

miss kelsie has decided to
give her heart away.
so, to celebrate, we had
a lovely little roof top party.

allow me to set the scene:

warm summer evening.
stringing lights.
stringing hearts.
billie holiday playing in the background.
and one very blissful bride.

perfect.
