Katie’s Dreamy Bridal Photos at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens

Katie’s bridal session at Daniel Stowe is one of my favorites, I love these photos so much! It may have been extremely hot, but you would never know! The whole session felt like we were in The Secret Garden with wedding veils; so dreamy and romantic. Katie looked like a princess and her dress was the perfect choice for her. I loved the pink that just barely shown through the layers.

When I photograph a bridal session I’m always looking for that image that will be printed, framed, and hung on the wall. In my experience, most of our brides pick a horizontal image as apposed to a traditional “portrait” oriented one. I will make sure to take them in both along with detail images and close up portraits.  I also love, when the dress allows, to do some fun ones with a bride playing with her dress. Katie’s a-line gown was perfect for some fun images! One other thing I really loved was her veil. It was her mom’s and I think that her wearing it for her portraits was the sweetest. One of my niece’s tried on my wedding dress last week and it was such an adorable moment that I will always cherish.

We photographed Katie and her fiance (now husband) Jame’s engagement session this past winter in Boone, NC. You can check out their session here! Stay tuned for their wedding day story soon!

I’ve been so excited to share this session! Enjoy some of my favorites!
