Wedding Inspo - Top 5 Reasons to Do a Bridal Session

Weddings days are always so filled to the brim with joy and excitement, but one trend we’ve been loving on over the past couple of seasons is bridal sessions. These dreamy little days add a touch of magic and extra beauty to some of the sweet love stories of all time and here’s our favorite reasons why you should consider bringing us along for a bridal session.

1) Location Location Location
While wedding days may be more limited in terms of guest count and accessibility, bridal sessions can happen literally anywhere and on any day of the week. If you’ve been dreaming of romantic photos in Europe or adventurous mid-week city portraits, bridal might just be the perfect fit for you and your lover.

2) A Moment of Privacy
On wedding days, it might feel like couples never get a moment to revel in their newlywed status together so bridal sessions provide the perfect opportunity for couples to see each other in their stunning wedding attire and soak in all the love in a more private way.

3) Showing off Style
While most couples opt to wear the same attire for most their wedding and their bridal session, some couples use bridal sessions as an opportunity to test out a secondary wedding look or wear something less traditional for portraits. We love seeing our couples’ style shine so dang bright during these dreamy little sessions.

4) Perfecting the Details
In addition to getting to wear their wedding day looks for an additional time, couples also use bridal sessions to get a dress rehearsal for their hair, makeup, and florals. By providing vendors with an extra, less-stressful situation, couples are better able to communicate exactly what they want for their wedding day and give their vendors time to make extra changes if needed.

5) Becoming BFFs with Photo and Video Teams
As if we didn’t need another excuse to hang out with our incredible couples, bridal sessions give our team and our lovers one more chance to connect before wedding days. These sessions are also a great opportunity to test out what poses and angles couples like as well as figure out the best way to capture their love!

Andrew + Bren, a Heavenly Hotel Albuquerque Wedding

Lovers Bren and Andrew dreamed up the most gorgeous garden-inspired wedding in the heart of Albuquerque and we are truly enamored with it. These Dallas hunnies brought an unreal amount of beauty, love, and intention to their sweet June day.

Andrew and Bren first caught each other’s eye at their church, however it took these cuties a little bit of time to work up the courage to talk to each other. When they finally broke the ice during a BBQ, Andrew asked Bren out on an official date and they’ve been absolutely smitten with one another ever since. After quickly realizing that they were meant to be, Andrew proposed to Bren in one of their favorite parks (along with some of their shared little chicks) and the rest is history.

These babes knew that Bren’s hometown of Albuquerque would be the most perfect place to make it official and began to envision their nuptials in The Land of Enchantment with a little help from the ever incredible Lauren of Just Lovely Weddings. Andrew and Bren kicked off their dreamy June day with a traditional morning temple ceremony, a mid-day luncheon, and, finally, the most divine garden reception of all time. From the rainbow hued florals to the delicate porcelain details to the most incredible playlist ever, this day was beyond our wildest dreams. And to top it all off, we got to spend part of the afternoon exploring Old Town with these hunnies and it was truly the most splendid time of all.

We’ll forever be the biggest ride or die fans of Bren + Andrew, we know these babes are going to bring so much light and joy into the world!!

If there’s one thing we’re smitten with every single wedding day, its bouquets. We’ve seen some of the dreamiest little floral beauties of all time and, dang, are they forever on our minds.

Whether they’re little and minimalist, big and bold, or a delicate balance of both, bouquets of all sizes have our hearts. From the classic all-white creations to the vibrant modern designs, bouquets never fail to be breathtakingly timeless.

This season is sure to bring even more bouquets for us to fall in love with, but for now we’re still reveling in some many of the stunners from the past.

Wedding Inspo - Wedding Party Style

Even though we’ve seen more and more nuptials without wedding parties, this long-standing tradition is still going strong (and now in more fashionable ways than ever before). Our couples’ squads always know just how to bring the heat on wedding days from start to finish.

One wedding party trend we’ve become absolutely enamored with over the past few seasons is mix and match dresses and suits. Couples that give their closest friends the opportunity to bring their own personal styles to the sleekest wedding color palates definitely take the overall tone of their days to the next freaking level. And even though we’ve witnessed all matching wedding parties for years, there’s still something enchanting about seeing everyone dresses up to the nines in a couple’s favorite colors.

Wedding parties might be changing, but they’re certainly not disappearing anytime soon so here’s all of our favorite styles from some of the most divine days of all!

Ryan + Annie, an Elegantly Modern Santa Fe Wedding

Dallas angels Ryan and Annie brought their love to the Southwest this spring for one of the most breathtakingly romantic days we’ve ever seen. Every last bit of their serene Santa Fe nuptials was beyond beautiful and so dang memorable.

These cuties have been adventuring all over the world together for several years now, so its no surprise that Ryan popped the question while he and Annie were hiking along Path of the Gods trail in the Amalfi Coast, Italy. These two knew that travel and really incredible views would be a major part of their wedding so they picked Four Seasons Santa Fe as the place to make their love official.

On the most dreamy May afternoon, Annie and Ryan said “I do” surrounded by so many of their beloved friends and family. This stellar day had some of the most gorgeous details around, from the soft yet luxe florals, to Annie’s heavenly bridal style, to the most incredible dance party the Southwest has ever witnessed. And if their details weren’t enough, their deeply emotional first look and sweet moment with their pup, Wally, are sure to be the cherry on top of an already incredibly special day.

We adored these sweet souls and their love for one another, cheers to the most amazing new chapter!

Jebb + Abbie, a Joyful Backyard Wedding

If there’s one kind of wedding we just can’t get enough of, its definitely those intimate backyard weddings. Last summer, Montana cuties Abbie and Jebb invited us to share in their deeply emotional, beyond serene, and incredibly joyful day in Santa Fe.

These two angels first met several years while ice skating on New Years Day in Kalispell, Montana. For Jebb and Abbie, it was love at first sight and their love grew over the years. They spent time skiing, hiking, and enjoying all things outdoors together, eventually leading them to fall more in love with each other’s curiosity for the world and zest for adventure. Jebb and Abbie eventually moved to Jebb’s hometown of Santa Fe with their cutie pie dog, Scout, roughly four years ago and are working on building their new home together.

For their wedding day, these two knew that they wanted it to be truly personal so they settled on a tiny wedding with only their closest friends and family present. Jebb and Abbie were also incredibly intentional with their details including a bouquet and cake made by the bride herself (trust us when we say they are STUNNING), accessories made by local artists, and a reception table were all guests were able to sit together. And if those touches weren’t enough, Jebb and Abbie’s ceremony was one that left everyone in tears of pure happiness and love. To top it all off, we loved spending a few quiet moments with these babes among some beautifully lush greenery with the softest golden hour light surrounding them.

Tiny weddings always leave us so speechless and in total awe, we’re forever in love with those days that take out breath away!
