Happy Tuesday, readers!
One of my favorite things about all our Spring & Summer brides finally getting married is that we can share some of these bridal portraits we’ve been sitting on for months! For a blogger who likes to share pretty rapidly, it’s torture to sit on a session for 2-3 months!
You saw a sneak peek of Chelsie & Brandon’s wedding yesterday, and I’ll share more of our favorites toward the end of the week. But today, it’s all about the lovely bride!
We shot this session specifically for a simple, country feeling, and I think we accomplished just what Chelsie was going for!
If you guys know me at all, you know I was pretty jazzed about a bridal session with two pairs of shoes!![]()



Isn’t this dress stunning? Chelsie’s mom made it. As a girl who can barely sew a button, I was WAY impressed!![]()








I’m always pleased when Mack and I are able to deliver just what a bride is looking for. In Chelsie’s case, that was “easy, simple, country”. They just feel like her!

Chelsie! You were even more gorgeous on your wedding day than when we shot these portraits in February… I can’t wait to show you!
