Wedding Party Portraits

wedding_header

I’m continuing the series “Best of 2014” with featuring some of my personal favorite wedding party portraits! I chose these photos based on several factors including emotion, composition, lighting, fun details, color and variation. It was so much fun looking back through the wedding party photos over this past year and seeing the bride and groom personalities through the coloring, bouquet styles and clothing choices. Enjoy some of my favorites!!!

Sweet little moment between bride and her sister. Love this!
