I had such an amazing time photographing Danielle’s bridal session. For one, she brought a whole entourage of fabulous women along with her! They were all a blast. Its also a tradition with Danielle’s sisters to be in the bridal portraits in their bridesmaids dresses. And finally, and what made the session just over the top (other than Danielle’s sparkling, fun personality) was the dress. THE dress. Danielle wore her grandmother’s wedding gown. Its the same gown Danielle’s mother wore for her wedding. Just thinking about it gives me chills! Can you imagine having a dress in your family that is so timeless that its been able to be worn by 3 generations of women?? Now they did make some changes to it for Danielle (it used to have sleeves) but its still very much the same dress. (ya know in 27 Dresses when the sister totally alters the mother’s wedding gown and it doesn’t look like the same dress at all? So not the case in this situation) Anyway, it was just really cool so I wanted to share. But again, I had blast on this session and was thrilled with all the images. I’ll share the wedding day images soon!

Danielle mentioned really wanting a shot with her veil blowing, but I decided with the huge long train she had that we needed to get all sorts of motion going. That dress could really move! Love it!
