All morning long, during hair and make-up, laughing with her girlfriends and sipping mimosas, she was alright. “How do you feel? Do you need anything” “I’m totally fine!” It wasn’t until it was time to don her iconic white gown that the nerves set in. Her hands shook ever so slightly as she dabbed on her Chanel perfume, a gift from Chris on their wedding morning. As she walked down the stairs to meet him for their first look, she took a deep breath to steady herself. This was it.

“Are you ready?”

“I’m ready,” she said with the world’s most dazzlingly beautiful smile, and she stepped out onto the veranda to meet her groom.

Chris & Chrissy, your wedding day left my heart feeling oh so full! Seeing the way your families celebrated for you and with you was such a joy, and I am so very, very grateful to have been the one to document your love. I hope the first few days of marriage down on the beaches of Mexico have been sheer bliss!

    I love their portraits! Such gorgeous light and color! 🙂

  2. Caili says:

    I LOVE that last one – I would frame it in every corner of my house if it were of my husband and I. 🙂

  3. Shalese says:

    I kept thinking this venue looked familiar, then I realized I was there last month! It’s so fun to see how different it looks from someone else’s very talented eyes. 😉

  4. Susan Lines says:

    Abby! I think you originally asked me if I was free this date to second shoot with you, but I was attending another wedding so I couldn’t. But this is funny because Chrissy and a few of her bridesmaids are good friends from college! I’m so happy she had YOU to capture their day. Chrissy is stunning, dream bride!!!

  5. Matoli says:

    Miss Abby! What a fantastic eye you have! I bet these two beautiful people help to make your job easier!! I doubt that there was a “bad one” in the bunch!! I am Chris’s Aunt in Arizona, we had so looked forward to the big day plane tickets purchased, hotel booked, new dress for me new duds for my man! Then WHAM-O sickness kept us from being there and our hearts were broken! 🙁 Your pictures are such a blessing the details you captured, her ring, her shoes, make-up, sweet secrets, and lovely tender hugs and nuzzles gave me goosebumps! What a gift you have and I wish you all the success in the world with your photography business! Thank you for your work you captured the day in an AMAZING WAY! I have tears in my eyes!

  9. Melissa Farmer says:

    Abby, from the photo preview on your instagram/twitter to this post – it is all beautiful! Love the work, the light just helps them glow even more! I always look forward to your posts 🙂
