Rebecca's Bridal Portraits - Gautier, Mississippi Gulf Coast

Rebecca's bridal session was just days before her wedding. It was a session I was a little worried about to be honest with you. Bold Rebecca had secured an awesome outdoor location for her bridal session. I say bold, because she saw a gorgeous home in Ocean Springs with grounds set in a storybook. She basically knocked on the door and asked the owners if she could get her bridal portraits taken there and they sweetly agreed.

Now to the part that I was worried about.... the day before AND the day of the session it poured. The ground was soaking wet, quite soft and muddy, and still there were more showers to come. Not a great idea to soil her Lazaro wedding gown just days before her wedding! Although there was no time to re-schedule. We were going to have to scratch our outdoor session and find an indoor location fit for her bridals.

Awesome wedding planner Susie Davis from A Plan to Remember called awesome Dave from The Old Place (also known as La Maison) in Gautier, MS who happily agreed to let us use their venue. It was perfect... I had an amazing, beautiful bride named Rebecca (my camera LOVED her). We used the covered porch and still got that outdoor look. It turned out to be one of my favorite bridal sessions of all time. The worst part about it was having to wait until AFTER the wedding to post the images. It was just killing me :)

Tilley Photography also was the photographer for her wedding at Magnolia Manor in Mobile, AL. Stay tuned for the AMAZING wedding photos soon!

Blog readers, meet Rebecca. Rebecca, meet my blog readers. I know you all will love her. I know I DO!!!! And check out those AMAZING peacock feathers in her hairpiece.

Kristen and Michael - Labor Day Weekend Wedding

If you know me at all, you know my heart belongs in two places: the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Massachusetts. So every chance I get to shoot a wedding in Boston - I jump at it. So of course I was thrilled when Kristen and Michael contacted me about their backyard wedding in Westford, MA.

Fast forward to the week before their Sept 4th wedding, and here comes Hurricane Earl. I decided to be preemptive, and got an earlier flight out of Gulfport so I could arrive well ahead of the storm. Luckily Earl was a bust - and the weekend ended up being one of the nicest weekends of the year! Perfect wedding weather!

Kristen and Michael had a lovely church wedding and an beautiful backyard reception. Special thanks to Erik Patton for second shooting with me! Details, church and reception photos to follow!
