Kristen’s Elegant (Princess) Bridals

Tonight I shot Kristen + Graham’s AMAZING Castle wedding. Yes, you heard right.. CASTLE wedding. I can’t wait to blog these!! In the meantime, here are a few of Kristen’s bridals. I kept telling Kristen that she looks like a princess. Her dress, her veil, her jewelry… she made a such a beautiful bride. Then she got married in a Castle.. so how much more “PRINCESS” can you get? The song “Love Story” by Taylor Swift played in my head the whole time. ;)

A few interesting things that happened at Kristen’s bridal session. We were in a VIDEO that will be played at a couples wedding. A videographer was shooting some sort of video about a groom who had lost his bride and was running around everywhere trying to find her.. and I DO mean running.. he ran a LOT. The videographer asked if they could borrow us for a minute. He had Kristen walking toward me, and me walking backward.. while taking pictures of her. The guy runs up behind Kristen, and when he realizes it’s not her, runs off past us. This was a first. We were stars. ;) Second was Kristen almost passing out several times! It was EXTREMELY hot and the weight of her dress (which is very heavy) was not helping. Her mother and I kept making her STOP and rest.. but she kept assuring us she was okay.. even though we knew she was probably lying. She was such a trooper! ;) Congrats guys!! Everything was beautiful! :)

meaganthomas: wowww..this is possibly my favorite post ever! I can't even pick a favvv!! those shoes are adorable & I soooo cannot wait to see the pictures of the castle!! amazing job as alwaysss! :) (12.06.10, 03:50PM)
Elise Dodson: BEAUTIFUL!! she is such a beautiful bride! LOVE the location and her shoes :):) (12.06.10, 04:05PM)
Gareth Robins (Wedding Photographer in Auckland New Zealand): I have but one word.... Rawr! (23.06.10, 03:27PM)
