North Carolina Wedding Photographer | Emily's Bridal Session | yah Photography by Kelli Conley

Emily is such an amazing spirit that I love to be around. Her personality shined through during her engagement session and I loved seeing it again from her during her bridal session. When trying to figure out location we were bouncing around all different types of ideas but ended up with choosing her family farm in Monroe, North Carolina. She grew up there and I felt it was the absolute best location for her session. Especially since she has a great relationship with her dad and decided that she would surprise him with a picture of her on the wedding day! (see the picture below) Her sister also dressed up for the day and we made sure to snap just a couple fun sister pictures to gift to her parents as well! I know their wedding will be beautiful and I can’t wait to see her dad’s reaction when he gets his present from her! 2014-06-16_0020 2014-06-16_0021   2014-06-16_00222014-06-16_0030 2014-06-16_00292014-06-16_00252014-06-16_0024 2014-06-16_0023

Hightower Hall Photographer | McConnells SC | Kayla Bridal Session | yah Photography by Kelli Conley

When Kayla and I had our first meeting, she told me that she for sure wanted a bridal session. Not all brides opt for this session but those that do absolutely love it and have so much fun in the process. The day we had Kayla's session planned it was so chilly, we were bummed as we wanted to do a lot of the shots outside. We found a lot of great locations inside and then Kayla braved the cold for a couple outside and I was so impressed. I was freezing and I had leggings, a jacket and longs sleeves on. But no matter where she was at the Hightower Hall she looked stunning in her dress. I can't wait until Andrew and the rest of the people attending the wedding get to see her! 2014-06-07_0007 2014-06-07_0001 2014-06-07_0002 2014-06-07_0003 2014-06-07_0004 2014-06-07_0005 2014-06-07_0006

Carowinds Bridal Portraits | Fort Mill, SC | Mina by Kelli Conley

Mina has been planning her wedding for awhile now and was soooo excited when she told me the idea she had for her bridal session. It completely matched not only her, but her wedding theme as well. Once we got the ok we were all set, only one problem the dress came in and unfortunately was all wrong. We had to postpone the session, and with only a couple weeks before her wedding, she had to get a whole new dress. I have to give it to Mina though, she had such a great spirit and really rocked her session! After hanging out on the carousel at Carowinds we headed back to her parents house and took pictures in her mother's amazing garden. We had so much fun, Mina is a blast to photograph and I am so excited to be a part of her big day today!  

Special thanks to Julie and all the staff at Carowinds for making Mina’s dreams come true for her bridal session! It wouldn't have been possible without everyone’s help!2013-09-04_0018.jpg 2013-09-04_0019.jpg 2013-09-04_0020.jpg 2013-09-04_0021.jpg 2013-09-04_0022.jpg 2013-09-04_0023.jpg

City Club - Charlotte, NC Bridal Photography| Tamara | yah Wedding Photography by Kelli Conley

It’s amazing to me how fast a year can actually go by. When first meeting David & Tamara in early 2012 it seemed like June 2013 was forever away. Then when Tamara and I got together to do her beautiful bridals we realized that June would be here before you know it…. And it did! Today is the day, and I am so happy for the two of them! I cannot wait to share in their big day, and am so happy that I can finally share her gorgeous bridal pictures with you! tamara_6 tamara_5 tamara_4 tamara_3 Tamara_2 Tamara_1
