One of my favorite parts of a wedding day, and yes I have many, is the precious time I get to spend with my brides and grooms! Creating these gorgeous and timelessly romantic bride and groom portraits gives me life. Those stunning swooping veil shots, the wide epic shots, the close up romantic ones. I love capturing the love they have for each other, the way they laugh and smile together. It’s so hard to pick favorites. I love them all!!

My brides and grooms are some of the most amazing people to work with! So many times I will hear that they are definitely not models and get nervous or awkward in front of the camera. But I can tell you that they all rock their portraits!! Having an engagement session with me beforehand is ALWAYS a huge help in prepping for the portraits on the wedding day! It gives them the confidence and trust in me to help them look like straight models. It also helps bring out who they really are and to focus on themselves, this day, and not their nerves. Check out all of these GORGEOUS couples in some of the best bride and groom portraits of 2021!
