It’s been awhile since I have done another recap, I know–I apologize in advance. This was one of the most fun days, as it was all about getting dolled up and glammed in prime time wedding gear to “run through” for the big day.
Funny enough, it started off raining that Tuesday morning, and when I say raining, I am referring to torrential downpour. But we prayed and crossed fingers and around lunchtime when the beauty gurus were getting started, the clouds parted and the bright sunshine came out to play, sealing the perfect springtime day for a photoshoot. Someone was looking after us that day đ
Mom and I solicited the top ladies in Nashville to help us with hair and makeup and I loved the final look…so much that I didn’t change a single thing for the big day–they nailed the look I was going for! Amy Lynn Larwig did wonders on my face, to which now I have an obsession with Makeup For Ever from Sephora. And the lovely Mary Malone reworked my hair into a romantic style complete with extensions for added volume.
We spent about 2 hours taking over the grounds at Scarritt Bennett to make sure we got just the perfect shot for our big canvas that would welcome guests to the reception, and I love the end result…that will come with the reception recap! So without further adieu, here they are, my bridal portraits {and yes, I am a bit biased–hehe}
Your dress is gorgeous and I love your hair!!
You're not biased, you're absolutely gorgeous! And I LOVE the shoes!
I love your blog and I just had to comment on your pictures. They are BEAUTIFUL! Your dress and hair look amazing and you look so happy!

You look absolutely stunning! I love your dress and all of these photos. They did a fantastic job. Of course it doesn't hurt their subject is pretty gorgeous. đ Love them.
Gorgeous! How far in advance did you take them? I am planning to do bridal portraits- even though almost no one is California does them. It's funny what a Southern tradition it truly is- which i think is weird, since it makes so much sense. I'm hoping having a run through will help me to relax on our wedding day.
Beautiful! Can't wait to see more wedding recaps!
Love these!
Question – were you afraid you would get your dress dirty/did you have it cleaned after?
You look like the photo that comes in a new picture frame!! Stunning, gorgeous, perfect, so beautiful!!
Oh. My. Gosh. SOOO beautiful!!! I am LOVING that big ol' veil!! You are so stinkin' cute!

Great pictures!! All of them are so beautiful!
Oh goodness gracious they are LOVELY Natasha! And I couldn't agree more … bridal portraits are a must-do. We decided to fore-go the large canvas and instead just had an 8×10 framed in a large frame, but I wanted to do it more for the experience and the run-thru aspect. So glad I didn't rely on the day-of pictures to have nice portraits taken, it was too rush-rush!
You were such a stunning bride. Just gorgeous!
You are gorgeous and I LOVE the dress! Can't wait to see more wedding pics!
They all turned out beautiful! I don't think you got one bad picture!!
I think the shot of you in the church with your viel on (did I spell that right?) where your dress is all fluffed out and your have your head tilted to the side gets my vote as one of your top pictures!! đ You look beautiful. hands down!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! What a fabulous idea to do bridal portraits before the wedding as a "test" run. Plus, you get comfortable in front of the camera and get to see how you look. Genius!
