My Bridal Pictures

I would be terrified to do any part of a wedding without an excellent photographer. Luckily, we found the perfect one for us! She was fun, she understood what we wanted, and she made us relax!! 
 
I was pretty nervous for my bridals. I hadn't ever worn my dress for a long period of time, I didn't know what my hair and make up was going to turn out like, and I seriously had no idea what the pictures would turn out like. All the unknowns were making me anxious. 
 
I had my mom and sister Laura Pocket with me for bridals. They were the two best helpers ever!! They told me when a hair was out of place, they did about 3 hours worth of squats, and made me genuinely laugh for the "laughing" pictures. 
 
We began at 2:30 and finished shooting at 6:30. I had over 497 pictures to choose from and I love them all for very different reasons. I took some pictures in one of Duck Dude's duck shirts just to surprise him!! And my former quilt boss let me borrow her braided mink.... so I obviously took some ridiculous pictures with that. I have already returned it in case there are PETA members reading. Here is just a glimpse of our day! 
 




























Happy Wednesday!!!

  1. Mollie Pocket is the cutest name ever. You are also the most beautiful bride! It's amazing you had so many wonderful photographs of just you, I keep thinking I won't be able to have many photos of just me in my dress (this fear stems back to not having a single photo of just me from prom), so I may steal your idea and spend a few hours on them.

    1. ha thanks! :) My brother in law gave me the nickname! I was a little anxious about just having pictures of me and what would I do with them? But my grandmothers/mother and in laws/aunts love them! So you should definitely spend some time doing them!!

  2. Wow, these are SO beautiful!!! I especially love that overhead shot where you can see all of the lace in your train and the one with your veil blowing in the breeze. I bet duck dude loved the ones in his shirt :) Thanks for linking up, can't wait to read more next week :)

  3. Mollie, oh my goodness these photos are stunning!! Your hair and makeup turned out beautifully. These are all fantastic shots, but I really love the view of your dress from the top and of your flowers right below it. And I love the shirt in the camo for your man...too sweet!

    1. Thank you so, so much! I told a friend it feels a little vain to post pictures of myself... but then I go back through and go back through them and find little details I didn't see the first time and fall in love with them all over again!
