I have been DIEING to start blogging this sweet Bride’s wedding.  You are not going to believe me when I tell you this was totally a Do It Yourself (DIY) wedding.  I’ll talk more about those details later.  For now.. I wanted to start with a few of my sweet bride.  I have never seen a bride match the look of her dress to the overall style of her wedding better than Michelle.  You’ll see what I’m talking about later this week.  Her dress was originally designed by Casablanca but they took it to a local bridal shop to customize it perfection. The buttons on the back were actually from her mother’s wedding dress for her “something old”.  The chiffon flower in her hair was made by her mother and just matched her dress perfectly!  Enjoy this sweet bride… you’ll be seeing a lot of her this week!

Love these two shots!  And her flowers… to die for!
Beautiful Michelle! We did a few in the direct sunlight… at around 2pm… a very hard time of the day to shoot.  For all you photogs out there who care… I just put her back as best I could to the sun (so her face was in the shade) and exposed for her face.
Sweet shot of Michelle!Do you see that chandelier hanging behind her? It hung in her room for nearly her whole life!  Absolutely love it!
