Aprill's mom was in town over Thanksgiving, so after Nate proposed, (refer to previous post if you missed the big news!) Aprill was able to go dress shopping before her mom went back to Arizona.
And lucky me! I got invited along!
I was excited, not only to see Aprill choose a dress, but to take pictures, of course!
The owners at the first bridal shop were fine with photography. Others didn't allow pictures, but luckily I snapped a bunch at the first store.
Aprill found the dress of her dreams at the last shop we went to. By that time, Mallory had joined us on the search. (She was at school earlier that day). So, Mallory was especially thrilled to be there to see THE dress. (I'm not posting shots of the winning dress today...I'll save those for the official bridal post).
But...without further ado....a day in the life of an upcoming bride on her quest for the perfect dress!
As promised, the first batch of many from Luke and Katie's wedding. We actually did these the night before when the weather was cooler and the lighting was better.

I was the photographer for my friend's daughter's wedding recently.
Leni was an amazingly beautiful bride.
Here are some shots of her getting ready.

Eric and Amber were married at Thanksgiving Point, a location that boasts acres upon acres of beautiful gardens. After the ceremony we zoomed around the gardens on a six-seater golf cart, driven by one of the wedding coordinators. It was great. Made it possible for us to get to many different spots in a short amount of time. Not much was blooming yet that day, but it is still a gorgeous location.
After the garden shots, we headed back for the reception.
