Joy's Bridal Session - Country Chic {Marietta Wedding Photographer}

Ms. Joy knows how to work a pair of boots and a cowboy hat, without a doubt. Seriously, not just anyone can sashay around a charming square, posing flawlessly, charming passers-by who stopped to watch, all the while wearing a strapless dress outside in December. Granted, it was unusually warm and sunny, but still, I maintain that Joy is an above average subject.

Bridal "After the Wedding" Session with Toni and Gage

For many couples the wedding day itself is often a blur, albeit a joyful blur, of emotion and joyful moments, sometimes with a tight schedule. For that reason, and the desire to have unique, relaxed, or sometimes more fashion forward images, many couples are utilizing bridal sessions before or after their wedding. These sessions can be very personalized and range from classic portraits of the bride alone or dramatic images of the bride and groom in various settings. These images can augment and add to the wedding portraits or be featured in a separate book or album.

With Toni and Gage we visited the funky Little Five Points area, as well as a local park, to get a variety of images. It also helped that Toni's fantastic gown was convertible, easily zipping from a full skirted gown to a mini-dress......LOVE it. It's not easy to walk hiking paths in heels, much less navigate a giant fallen log, but this adventurous couple made it work.

Sneak Peak - Joy's Bridal Session on Marietta Square

Had an AMAZING time today shooting Joy's bridal portraits around one of my favorite places, Marietta Square.  This Georgia girl accessorized her tiered cotton dress with fabulous boots, a cowboy hat, broken in denim jacket, and a funky necklace.  We had a great time hearing about Joy's recent wedding and her "Brady Bunch" style blended family, with kiddos ranging in age from preschool to high school.  Thanks, Joy, for totally working it and being a pleasure to photograph!

Here's a favorite from her session....
