Keeping Dorothy’s Ashelynn Manor bridal portraits all to myself since November has been agonizing, because they are absolutely gorgeous!! I had so much fun photographing Dorothy at Ashelynn Manor in Magnolia,TX. Would you believe me if I told you it rained off and on all day but we decided to take a risk and go for a gorgeous evening anyways, and we had the most amazing evening. The sun was shining and the weather was absolute perfection. I know it has been a long cloudy and wet fall and winter when I literally jump up and down when I see the sun.
I really think every girl should have bridal portraits done before their wedding. It is an amazing opportunity to take a day for yourself and enjoy being pampered and feel like a rockstar. I strongly recommend that you get a hair and makeup trial done before your wedding day and this is the perfect chance to put that trail to good use! Speaking of hair and makeup, Exquisite Reflections did a fabulous job as always. Bridal portraits are also the perfect chance to make sure your wedding dress fits as you expected, if anything doesn’t feel right or you need it to be altered at all you will have a much better idea after you get to wear it for a bit. Oh, and don’t forget…you will get some practice walking in that big dress, so on your wedding day you will be a wedding dress wearing pro.
Maura Joyce - Great points! I didn’t have bridal portraits taken and I sooo wish I had.
Casey - Bridal portraits are ALWAYS a good idea because things are so fast-paced on the wedding day that sometimes the timeline and emotion gets in the way of properly documenting the bride on her big day.
Ruth Bloch - SOOO beautiful!!!! Love it!
Rebecca - Beautiful
Shaindel Kramer - I so wish I had taken the time to do this 10 years ago when I got married, my photographer never even suggested it! I would love to have images like this to show my children, they’re timeless.
Sarah - Just lovely! And what a nice way to reduce stress on your wedding day!
