Backtrack.
When I went to Utah last August I had one thing that I HAD to do while I was there. And this is it (only 7 months late). I got married just over 5 years ago now and my sister Shannon is coming on her 5 year anniversary this month. Neither of us got our bridal portraits done. Why you ask? I honestly don't know. Something about being in front of the camera alone... too much money... not enough time. I don't know, but it never got done. Until last August. I am so GLAD that we did this. Reasons.... 1. I actually still fit into my dress and I am not sure how long that will last. 2. I almost kinda sorta look like I did when I got married. 3. Photographs are so very important to me. More important than I thought they were 5 years ago.
So. We pulled out the dresses. Did our hair and makeup. Found our amazingly wonderful skilled little sister, and got to work. Bethany is the one we owe this too. She is the one with the photography skills. She took all these photos and more and I couldn't love them more.
Oh yes. One more thing. Shannon, you are stunning. Absolutely stunning.
Oh... that was only a handful... I might have to show you some more. And we have some not so posed, fun ones as well :)

That is such a fun idea! I never did real bridals either. My mom took some pictures, but my real photographer was out of town the weeks before the wedding, so we didn't have time. Oh well. He got some nice pictures of both of us individually on the day, though it would still be nice to have some nice pictures of just me in my dress.
You both look lovely! Where did you take the pictures?
What a fun idea! I didn't really do bridals either. You guys both look beautiful!
You married my wedding photographer -- and not to discount his talent, but not hiring a real photographer has always been one of my regrets. I've thought about doing this same idea so many times, but I thought it might be a little embarrassing. Thanks for doing it first! Now maybe I won't be so scared.
So pretty!! I'm glad you did this. I would love to go back and re-do my wedding photos especially the ones at the Temple since the weather was so miserable!
I love the pictures, Bethany did such a good job. You look so pretty, that was so much fun!
What a fun idea! I wish I still fit in my dress, I didn't do bridals either. You both look gorgeous!
Beautiful! Both of you and the pictures are beautiful!
What beautiful girls!!! How fun to dress up again. You are both even more beautiful today.
