Lindsey Lee Bride: Natasha

Oh my goodness! How Joe and I LOVED shooting Matt and Natasha's wedding in Portsmouth, VA. One thing I love about weddings that are destination for us is that it really gets the creative juices flowing. Being somewhere new, seeing new sights, it gets me all jazzed up for photo moments! The camera absolutely. loves. Natasha. It's one of those weird photo things that you can't describe, but sometimes coloring, posing, the light, the dress, the day, it all aligns and every photo is wonderful. That was how I would describe our time together- wonderful! Can't wait to tell you more about her wedding and the fun that is her family, but for now, enjoy just SOME of my favorites from her bridal session!

Lindsey Lee Bride: Ginny

I can't wait to show images from Ginny and Ricky's wedding! They had a special surprise guest that made their reception tons of fun! For now, here are some of my favorites from her bridal session. Hope you had a fabulous long weekend! Look forward to lots here on the blog this week!

Lindsey Lee Bride: Katie

Can't wait to put up Katie and Haskell's wedding tomorrow! For now, here are a few of her bridals portraits. We went up to Blowing Rock for her session, and literally ran from horrible storms the whole way up and while we were there. Luckily the clouds parted and we were able to get some great shots! And had some great food in town when we were finished (can we say pregnant lady only worried about one thing??) Happy Tuesday!

another preview...

Here is a little peak from the bridal session I did for Natasha just two days before her wedding in Portsmouth, VA. Couldn't wait to share....you know I am a sucker for a red background. Look for lots of photo goodness this week! Happy Sunday!

Lindsey Lee Bride: LeAnn

I promise we are going to get caught up on here soon! I am finally getting around to posting some of LeAnn's(sister extroidinaire) bridal portraits. She happens to be very photogenic, and the gorgeous wedding dress that I picked out for her didn't hurt either(it's my current claim to fame). Way too many favorites, so here are just some shots that I love. She played around alot with her hair, veil and shrug, so there are all sorts of looks. This is what I love about bridal portraits, the chance to get to try different things to see how you really want to look on your wedding day. Enjoy!

Makeup by Molly with Bella Amore and bouquet by Barbara with From This Day Forward. Can't recommend either of them enough.

My granddad's Packard.

I may get yelled at for putting these laughing photos, but hey, it's my blog:) Joe thought he was real funny this day, and apparent;y LeAnn did, too.

Lindsey Lee Bride: Allison

This past weekend Allison and Matt had a beautiful wedding. I can't wait to share it with you, but in the meantime here are Allison's bridal photos. She wanted something "Hollywood Glam" and had the look to match. I am not the first photographer to shoot at this rock quarry, but wow is it amazing. I was more than happy to oblige when Allison wanted to do her session there. It is a very magical place. Happy Monday!

Lindsey Lee Bride: Abigail

On Saturday, Abigail and Joe got married in the oldest church in North Carolina. Bath, NC was the perfect setting for their sweet, sweet wedding. I can't wait to show you all of the images later in the week. For now, here are Abigail's bridals. Love her!

One of my most favorite shots. Can't decide if I like the tilt shift shot better or the 50mm(below). What do you think?

Bridals: Kelli

Wedding season is here! Get excited people! from now until the end of the year so many lovely weddings, engagements and bridals are going to grace the blog. I am so excited about some of the venues we get to shoot at this year and all the lovely couples we get the chance to work with. The kick off began with Kelli and Drew. Shooting Bridals in February can also be a bit tricky, but we headed over to the J.H. Adams Inn, where the two were having their rehearsal dinner for the session. The Inn is so light and airy and provided the perfect backdrop.

What a lovely bride...

Bridals: Stacy

Her December 4th wedding was a little more than freezing, so I am so glad that her bridal portrait day was absolutely beautiful. Wedding to come soon!

Bridals: Sarah

So I really want Sarah to get married every year. I have loved working with her and Ryan... and basically Sarah is one of my most favorite people to photograph. Truly. Her bridal session was one of those days where all the stars aligned...it was the perfect day with the perfect weather with the perfect dress. And the light, let's not forget about that. Enjoy these!

We started with just a couple inside the Dairy Barn, which is where the two got married. The natural light coming through the back window was perfect...

chapel length veil...yes, please.

I'll end with this one.....

Bridals: Sarah

My brides are so creative and fun! Love Sarah's look....vintage, yet super classy and modern. Their wedding at The Big Chill was very awesome and I can't wait to share! For now, enjoy these...

AND- how could I forget beautiful hair and make-up by the lovely Lindsey Regan Thorne. She rocks...and has a pretty cool name, too.

Bridals: Anna-Yates

Another beautiful bride! We starting by taking some photos at her then fiance's firestation in Charlotte...all the guys at the firehouse were in on it and managed to keep the secret that we had been there! Here are some of my favs!

Bridals: April

I have 7 bridal portraits to get up on the blog over the next couple of weeks! I just LOVE bridals! I love getting to have the time to take lots of lots of pretty bride photos. On the actual wedding day, there usually is not a lot of time to just "play", so bridals could be my most favorite type of session. I especially love that it is a nice "dress rehearsal" for the actual wedding day...you wouldn't believe the number of girls that change something about their look after seeing how they looked in pictures. Then, on the day of the wedding, there is so much more confidence that everything is how it needs to be and that the photos are going to be fabulous without having to worry about hair, or earings, or the right makeup. First up, April.

Bridals: Mandy

Mandy was married at Childress Vineyards and I cannot wait to show you the wedding images this week! For now, here are just some of her bridals. We had to shoot mid day, and it was awful hot, but she totally rocked it out!
