Best of 2013 Bridal Portraits

The next couple weeks, I’ll be sharing some of my best work involving weddings! šŸ™‚ Finally! We have gone through many categories for the “Best of 2013”, but this is the one I’ve been anxious to jump into! So today, I’m starting out with top 10 bridal shots I captured during the 2013 year. I may have chosen these shots due to the composition, lighting, coloring and atmosphere. This is only the first set of wedding shots as I have many more categories to go through. All of my 2013 brides will shine through this “Best of 2013”! šŸ™‚ Enjoy some of my favorites!
