I can’t say enough how much I LOVE shooting bridals! I am going to be posting a series of Madison’s photos because there are so many amazing ones. She and her fiance Josh decided they wanted to do a first look almost a whole month before their wedding. Why? Simply because the photos were very important to them and they wanted to spend as much time as possible with friends and family on the day of their wedding! Since they are having an outdoor summer wedding she didn’t want to risk the chance of rain and not having the photos they wanted.
I LOVED this idea and jumped at the chance. We shot both her bridals and their bride and groom photos in the same day but I will post those next week and after their wedding on the 30th at beautiful Lake Lure I will post the actual wedding photos.
I loved her dress, her hair, the simplicity of it all and how graceful she moved in the satin and lace. Madison asked for a urban yet classy look and I knew of the perfect location! Alex and Matt were once again kind enough to allow us to her their loft as the backdrop and I think everyone agreed that it was perfect. Thank you both for your hospitality yet again, to Jade for the amazing hair and to Madison’s friend Traci for helping out on the shoot! Madison – I feel honored to document this time of your life and you and Josh are simply flawless. Of course I can’t wait to see the photos we capture on your actual day but you completely rocked this shoot!
