Beautiful Bride at the Barclay Villa - Bridal Potrait Raleigh NC

It was killing me having to wait to post these images!  It was not my first time shooting at Barclay Villa but it was my first time shooting a bridal portrait there.  And OH WHAT FUN!  There were so many neat nooks and crannies, incredible lighting and very moody colors which add so much dimension to the pictures.  And you just can't be a beautiful bride with a knock out smile! Isn't she gorgeous?!

Pamela & Brian's Butterfly Wedding in the Country

What a fun and nice couple.  Pamela with a flair of purple put on a beautiful country wedding. The groomsmen were all cool and collected despite the surprising warmth for an April afternoon.  We took them out to a rustic barn to photograph some of the wedding pictures to add to the country style of the groom. The girls all clearly loved Pamela and wanted to make sure it was such a special day for her.  The affair consisted of so many fabulous extra's such as LIVE butterflies at the exit.  And to add a twist the evangelist who performed the ceremony was the subject of a reality TV show and being filmed during the ceremony.  "Worked Up" on TRUE TV.  I will have to catch that show now.  My DVR will be set for a while I imagine.  All our best to the new bride and groom!

Bridal Portrait: Country Beauty at The Sutherland

What a beautiful bride and so fun too.  This carefree bride truly made the most of her bridal portrait.  Shooting at the Sutherland one of her favorite places we took advantage of not only the greenery, old front porch home but also the rustic gentleman's room building.   It gave a lot of different looks to her bridal portrait. Additionally Pamela liked the look of the vintage portraits from days old so we mixed in a few of those as well.  She is getting married tomorrow!  Don't worry. I won't actually POST this till I get home from the wedding Pamela.  ;  )
