    Fashion Bridal Shoot | Jacksonville Wedding Photography

    Things have been very busy since returning from Vegas last week. We've been working like crazy to get things done before wedding season shifts into high gear in a few days. Between working on taxes, new website and blog and packing up to move in a few weeks I haven't had too much time to blog. So in hopes of keeping the blog love flowing... here are a few shots from Megan & Seth's fashion bridal session a few months back. This had to be one of my all time favorite sessions. Megan wore a birdcage veil as well as a cathedral veil during the shoot!!! That is a photographer's dream. There is nothing more fun than playing with a beautiful veil during a photo shoot. Well... strike that... gorgeous shoes and accessories are just as fun as beautiful veils. It all adds some spice to the shoot... and we love some spice!!!

    Happy Thursday Everyone! :)

    Thanks Star and Gwen... you guys are the best! :)

    Thanks Kathryn & Megan Beth... but I can't take all the credit a lot of those are Brad's images too. He is such an incredible photographer. You'll be hearing his voice on the blog very soon. ;)

    I know Cory... she is stunning. Shes got a fantastic personality too that just makes her that much more beautiful.

    Briana you crack me up!!! I have to agree with you... those are two of my favorites for sure. I'm pretty sure the composite shot would check yes on your note. ;)
