Lagniappe Life: Bridal Portraits (Round One)

My bridal pictures turned out to be more of an event than anticipated. I was certain I wanted my hair all up for the wedding, so we had my hair fixed that way for the bridal pictures. Double Windsor Photography did a great job shooting the pictures at Race + Religious and then at The Roosevelt Hotel. After the pictures came back, as beautiful as they were, I did not like my hair all up and neither did anyone else. Hello Gorgeous and Double Windsor Photography did amazing work. The pictures from Race + Religious and The Roosevelt came out stunning! We ended up getting a large canvas print of a picture from this day for our house. Round two for bridal pictures was put on the calendar a few months later once the weather cooled down a bit. We will share that event with you soon! For now, here is round one of bridal portraits.

Shortly after my wedding shoes arrived, Jojo wrote a sweet message on the bottom. I wanted a good picture before they gotscuffed and broke in since the bottoms were just as pretty.

Once that was out of the way, it was time to put the shoes on and get to breaking them in while we took pictures at Race + Religious!

Huge thank you to my little sister and maid of honor for being such a trooper! She carried my dress around and even hid under it in some pictures to keep it from touching puddles on the concrete.

After we finished at Race + Religious my mom and sister could tell something was wrong. I said I wanted to go to The Roosevelt to take pictures in The Blue Room, so we packed up and headed over there. Since it was completely unplanned, we made a quick call to get permission from The Roosevelt for a couple pictures where we would be having our reception. Thankfully, they agreed!
