Julia's Bridal Portraits

Yes, she really is that beautiful. And no, she is not a professional model. Though the hair & make up done professionally by the amazingly talented Giselle & Leah!

I can't wait to share images from Will & Julia's wedding yesterday. In the meantime I'm squealing with delight that I get to share these bridal photos. We had a wonderful time taking these. I do maybe 3 bridal shoots a year, so we went a little crazy. So much fun! Perfect weather, perfect lighting... just me and Julia wondering around my favorite little mansion in Maryland. :-)

All shot with either my Nikon 50mm 1.4 or 85mm 1.4... almost always wide open! Available light only, camera raw, 5-10 second adjustments in Lightroom. Surprisingly those big window shots are nearly straight out of the camera... thanks to the 85mm.
