Kaleia is so easygoing and such a beautiful bride! I’m so excited to be sharing her elegant bridal portraits with you today.The day of her session, we were initially so bummed because it was storming. But, her parents have a gorgeous property in Lenoir, NC and we were able to do the portraits inside and on the porch. They turned out so beautifully!! Kaleia, thank you for trusting me – and allowing me to create this magic with you.
Elegant Bridal Portraits in Lenoir NC
I LOVE bridal portraits because they’re the perfect time to just focus on being a bride! There’s no questions to answer about wedding planning. Nothing to decide. It’s just you, your gown, your hair + makeup, and maybe your bouquet. You can bring your mom, your sister, or your best friend. We all get to celebrate YOU as a bride. It’s such a great way to break up the wedding planning!
For Kaleia’s portraits, we really wanted to focus on capturing her look as a bride. I loved her wedding gown. The lace detail on the bodice was so much fun to photograph – and she looked stunning in it! With the bad weather, we worked inside the house in Lenoir, but luckily it died down enough that we could get her on the porch, without risking ruining her gown. Kaleia was just gorgeous!! Despite all of the storming, I think these might be some of my favorite bridal portraits ever.
Kaleia and Josh were married this past weekend at Chetola Resort in Blowing Rock, NC. I can’t wait to share their beautiful day on the blog, too… but until then, enjoy Kaleia’s bridals!
