You remember this beautiful lady, right?  Erin married her high school sweetheart, David, just a few weeks ago.  They had a beautiful wedding, complete with appearances by doves, their puppies, and even a little bit of a hurricane {check it out here}.  A few weeks before the wedding, I met Erin for a bridal session at The Battersea in Petersburg.  This place is a gorgeous!  The property is so beautiful.  Every time I shoot there, I find new spots I love!  From the huge trees to rolling hills, it was perfect for Erin’s bridal session.  Her romantic style up-do and lace dress were stunning and fit perfectly with the location.

Erin is a natural in front of the camera!  I think it is because she is just so easy going.  She is always laughing and having fun so that is exactly what we did!  I loved being able to capture that side of her, as well as a little bit of sass!  These sessions are always so fun because it seems to make it feel more real, you know?  The bride gets to put on her dress, fresh from the seamstress because all alterations are finally done!  She gets to have her hair and makeup done just how it will be for her wedding day.  She gets to carry her bouquet and get a feel for what it will be like on that big day!  Everything becomes a little surreal.

Erin was too busy shaking random grasshoppers or other bugs off of the lace on her dress to get too caught up in the emotion of it all, though!  Ha!  Just had to bring it back to reality for a second.  I hope you love looking through these pictures as much as I loved taking them!

Erin, I am actually sad that you are married now because I don’t get to photograph you anymore, but you were a DREAM bride!  I loved every second of working with you!

 Seriously?  She is gorgeous!
