This is the perfect 2-week window for azaleas, too. I was seriously a kid in a candy store. *sigh*
And I'm going back two more times this week for more shoots...am I lucky or what?!
Full Version: Magnolia Garden Bridal Shoot
On Friday, I had the privilege of doing a bridal shoot at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens here in Charleston, SC! It was UNbelievably gorgeous!!!
This is the perfect 2-week window for azaleas, too. I was seriously a kid in a candy store. *sigh*
And I'm going back two more times this week for more shoots...am I lucky or what?!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that first one. The bridge is beautiful too. Great job!
Our azaleas have already died here...miss them! 
I love Magnolia - I love it when the tulips are in bloom! LOVE the first image! Pefect veil capture.

OH and I almost forgot...I shot one of myself on timer while I was waiting for the bride to finish getting ready.
Wow! That first one is spectacular. You must enlarge that onto canvas!!
That place is amazing. I'm green with envy. We just had the snow melt this week!

Wow! 1 & 3 are beautiful! I can't wait for spring to come here to Maine! Beautiful location + a beautiful bride + a good photog=Great photos
Valerie,
I was just in Charleston last week with a fifth-grade class trip and it was great! We had such a great time, and all I could think was "Man, these Charlestonians have THE best places to take pictures!!"
Seriously, I could shoot there for years and not get tired of it!
I love your shots! They are beautiful. I would like you to consider darkening the background a bit to allow that dramatic light on the bride to jump forward a bit more.
I gave it a quick play to show what I mean...hope you don't mind.

Ginger -
Oh trust me, I never get tired of it here! I was actually doing a shoot in LA (Manhatten Beach) a couple weeks ago, and I found my mind wandering to thoughts of "I wish I could take these clients to Charleston"...haha!
That edit looks great! You are right...I ought to make the vignette a little more dramatic. Good timing, too b/c I don't show these to the bride and her mom until Saturday morning!

The first one is beautiful and the third one is my favorite! What a gorgeous setting
Gorgeous to say the least! That first one has to go on the wall!!
#1 is my favorite! I agree with Ginger about the vignette, it adds just a little more wow to it!
I love the first shot too. The veil really just has a romantic swish to it. Can you tell I'm girlie!
