When I met Kristen, her sweet spirit and charm were apparent from the beginning. I know I’ve shared with you guys how bridal sessions are hands down my favorite sessions. There’s just something about a bride to be putting her gown on before the big day, getting to know her dress with zero wedding day timeline stress. I am so excited to be sharing this sleek lace bridal session with you all as Kristen is now a Mrs! Her and hubby Josh tied the knot on Saturday, so I can share away. (Waiting to share bridals until after the wedding day is also one of the hardest things ever.)
Let’s talk details. Her gown from NY Bride and Groom of Raleigh was sleek, elegant with a romantic lace detail. And the train? The most gorgeous detail of all. I’m a sucker for a long, train with buttons. Just add that to an adventurous bride who braved a TON of killer North Carolina gnats and we have the most gorgeous bridal session imaginable. But, through just the photographs, no one would ever have guessed that this fall bridal session was actually 95 degrees and swarming with buggies. Kristen found the strength to muster through all the yuck and walk through some glorious grass and soak up the gorgeous sunsetting rays. I hope you love this sleek lace bridal dress and session as much as I do!
