Oct14 Bridals: Chelsea 2010

While visiting Paul Von Reiter’s blog, (which I do quite often) I saw Chelsea’s bridal portraits and my jaw dropped. Chelsea is absolutely gorgeous, as is her stunning bouquet made entirely of vintage brooches by Nancy of Jabberwocky Studio. I particularly wanted to share this shoot, because I think it underscores how important it is to schedule enough time with your photographer for bridal portraits. If you don’t schedule it prior to your wedding day, then it’s important to make room before the ceremony. Often times, brides can forget, or even run late, but when you are working with a killer photographer (like Paul) it’s wise to give yourself enough time to let him do his thing to really create some beautiful images. Besides…how many times will you wear your dress? Might as well make it count…and be sure to document it entirely!

The venue featured is The Folly, coordinate by Stacie. Chelsea’s dress is by Pronovias.

More goodies coming up later today!

    Great write-up, great advise for brides. In my experience, brides usually run at least a bit late in wedding preparation, and well thought-out portraits unfortunately get scrapped.

    Thanks for posting these images, Grey! Chelsea was super fired up to see them on her favorite blog. =) And thank you to everyone for all of the comments and remarks. I am glad you dig what I do (even though Chelsea is 90% responsible for making these images what they are).
