BRIDAL PORTRAITS IN RALEIGH, NC AT THE SUTHERLAND

June 16, 2021

Maybe I’m a little partial since she is one of my brides, but I think Chelsea’s bridal portraits in Raleigh, NC turned out beautifully! With a gorgeous backdrop like The Sutherland in Wake Forest, NC how could they not? If there are three words to describe Chelsea as a bride they would be radiant, joyful, and classic!

We took these portraits in early spring so it was still slightly chilly out. Because of that we decided to start our bridal portrait session inside. That was a good choice because the sun ended up coming out and gave us some gorgeous spring time light! We then ventured outside towards the ceremony site. If you can’t tell, I had so much fun with Chelsea’s cathedral length veil. There’s nothing I love more on a wedding day then a long swooshy veil! They really add so much interest to your photographs!

It was so much fun getting to know Chelsea’s mom and aunt as they helped out throughout the afternoon! They are both just so sweet, and the love they had for Chelsea was so evident throughout the bridal portrait shoot as well as her and David’s wedding day!

Chelsea’s classic A-line dress came from Maggi Bridal in Raleigh. Made Beautiful by Roya made sure that Chelsea looked flawless for both her wedding and bridal shoot! Mel Day provided a beautiful bouquet for Chelsea to have as well!

Here’s what Chelsea had to say about her bridal portraits, “Oh my goodness- I love these SO MUCH! Thank you so much again for making me feel so comfortable that day! I can’t wait to share these after the wedding!”

I truly love being able to make my couples feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera, and reactions like these are some of the best parts of my job! Enjoy a few of my personal favorites from Chelsea’s bridal portrait shoot!
