OH. MY. GOODNESS! Words can’t describe how excited I was to find out about this gorgeous feature in Smitten Magazine! Bridal Portraits are often overlooked by brides and I believe they are so important for so many reasons! Well, Smitten has not shown why they’re important but also broken it down into different styles:

Garden Romance, Boudoir Alternative, Drama, Architecture, Fashion Forward & Traditional – Can you guess which one my style fell under?

It wasn’t until I opened the magazine that I saw the words beside Crystal Stokes Photography: DRAMA…..

How appropriate! I love soft, subtle, beautiful & organic images, but let’s face it, throw a little drama in and everything gets more exciting! We have literally been sitting on these photos since JANUARY and I couldn’t be more excited to finally share them!!

Special Thanks to Erin Ashley Makeup, Hair By Rebekah McCann, Springvine Design,  Aubre’s Bridal & my awesome friends Michelle & Jessica for all of their help during this beautiful bridal portrait session – oh, and let’s not forget the GAW-GEOUS Amy….girl you brought that drama! love love love!!!

and here are a few of my favorites from our shoot….so. in. love….

And here is the beautiful publication (that you can purchase here)
