Funny enough, it started off raining that Tuesday morning, and when I say raining, I am referring to torrential downpour. But we prayed and crossed fingers and around lunchtime when the beauty gurus were getting started, the clouds parted and the bright sunshine came out to play, sealing the perfect springtime day for a photoshoot. Someone was looking after us that day ;)
Mom and I solicited the top ladies in Nashville to help us with hair and makeup and I loved the final look...so much that I didn't change a single thing for the big day--they nailed the look I was going for! Amy Lynn Larwig did wonders on my face, to which now I have an obsession with Makeup For Ever from Sephora. And the lovely Mary Malone reworked my hair into a romantic style complete with extensions for added volume.
We spent about 2 hours taking over the grounds at Scarritt Bennett to make sure we got just the perfect shot for our big canvas that would welcome guests to the reception, and I love the end result...that will come with the reception recap! So without further adieu, here they are, my bridal portraits {and yes, I am a bit biased--hehe}
the winning picture below...the one we had framed--my absolute favorite!

So here's my two cents: If you're engaged and are unsure as to whether or not you want to have bridal portraits taken prior to the wedding, I am telling you now, run, don't walk to your photographer and make sure you get these done...they will be your saving grace to help you see what you're going to look like and to see if you need to "tweak" any certain element. Not to mention another reason to put on that gorgeous dress and frolic around for a few hours in advance...yes, I do love my dress that much ;)
