“They will stop calling brides beautiful after today- you have simply set the standard too high.”
– Anna Godbersen
If this quote doesn’t completely embody all the amazingness that is this gorgeous bride, I don’t know what will! Everything from her fabulous hair and makeup, to her exquisite Essence of Australia gown, to her cathedral-length veil, to her marquis-cut engagement ring, to her Kate Spade wedding day sneaks…Jessica (aka soon-to-be-Mrs.-Craus) 1000% rocked her bridal session!!
This location is one of my absolute favorites to photograph at, and looking at these pictures, I’m sure you can see why! Beautiful blossoms, perfect lighting, and an intimate environment, perfect for getting pictures you don’t want anyone to see before the wedding day! It’s such a unique and exceptional location, and it’s a limited edition (if a place can be a limited edition), since it only blooms once a year for about 10 days – quite the narrow window for pictures!
The future Mrs. Craus (aka Jessica) was absolutely glowing for her session, between the stunning lighting, her perfect makeup, her fabulous gown and veil, and, of course, her “bridal glow”! Her dress fit her like a glove, and she absolutely werked it! (Do the kids still say “werk”?) When brides are this gosh darn stinking pretty without any effort (tell me, Jessica: what’s that like?), it makes my heart sing! Plus, when they’re up for anything, including waving their veil around like a lunatic so the setting sun catches it perfectly, it makes my job SO easy! Golden hour for the win!
I love getting to do bridal sessions with my brides for lots of reasons, but here are some of the main ones:
~ More time with an amazing client!
~ More chances for beautiful pictures!
~ More opportunities to show off my dazzling clients!
~ More variety in pictures!
~ More chances to play with the dress and veil!
~ More time to be creative!
~ More reasons here!
Jessica, thank you SO MUCH for being such a beautiful person inside and out, and inside again! You’re so incredibly sweet, and I’ve loved getting to know you since we met a few months ago at your wedding consult! I can’t WAIT to capture your perfect wedding day to Jonathan, and I can’t wait to see you again!!
