This was the most eventful bridal portrait session I’ve ever had! Ha! We were literally snapping the last of these images after the sun had gone down because we started later than anticipated.

I had so many laughs with the Core family! It had been a long time since they’d had photos together, and we laughed at how awkward it was at first. We laughed at how nervous their dad was, the photogenic dog, the height differences (hehe)… We had so much fun, and they didn’t even have […]
