OUR BRIDAL SHOOT: The Week of Stress Before the Wedding

12 Comments 2 min read
You guys, Aubrey Jo Nilsson rocked it as our photographer, she’s cute, polite, takes great pictures, and is soooo fast. We had these pictures done within 45 minutes. She was even understanding when we drove all the way up Big Cottonwood Canyon for our initial spot for pictures (a hike to a waterfall) and it was snowed in. No complaint, not even a sigh! Love that girl!!!! Did I mention that she gives great prices for weddings? #blessed
Wanna see Spencer’s FIRST LOOK at my (my mom’s!) dress? STAY TUNED.

First of all, isn’t he a catch?! I really had to put some bait on my hook to catch this fine piece. & speaking of fine piece, WHAT OF THAT FLORAL CROWN?! It is from Sweet Little Sparrow (who hand makes them) and I about died when she showed me the finished product. The beautiful dried bouquet is from Flower Decoupage. Would you believe that beauty shipped all the way from Ireland, unscathed?! a miracle, I really tell you. Our wedding colors are mint, yellow gold, and dark navy, so the bouquet truly matches perfectly. But did you see his boutonierre? Freaking Spence is very picky about what I try to make him wear (thankfully the first boy I didn’t have to restyle) so for him to think this feather Tofino boutonniere is cool says something! Pomp and Plumage has a foresty-whimsical look to the entire shop, you have to check them out.

ON HER
Flowercrown: Sweet Little Sparrow | Dried Bouquet: Flower Decoupage | handmade dress (my mom was married in this dress as well!) | Ring: my Grandma Egbert’s

ON HIM
Boutonniere: Pomp and Plumage | Suit: Calvin Klein | Shirt: thrifted | Tie: Apple & Ivy |Shoes: Nordstroms Rack | Watch: Nixon

    Just beautiful. I love that you're wearing your mother's dress. So sweet and bohemian (my favorite wedding style). And your guy looks so handsome. I pray all kinds of blessings for health and happiness for you both. *cheers*

    Great photographs! My husband shoots weddings on the side, and he would approve. I had the hardest time deciding which pic to put in my post, see you are being featured Friday at Bacon Time! You two are a beautiful couple.
