Every so often I’ll arrive to shoot a wedding and as the bride pulls her dress out of it’s garment bag, it stops me in my tracks. Anna’s dress was exactly like that- I LOVED the drop waist, the delicate crochet detailing, the elegant cut. Everything about it was gorgeous. And then Anna put it on and everyone around her started squealing- it was so perfect for her! Her sweet, southern self was giggly and giddy, ready to rush out and meet her groom for their first look. Because the day’s schedule became a little bit crunched, we unfortunately didn’t have much time for bridal portrait on Matt & Anna’s wedding day, so Anna and I scheduled a “day-after” bridal session to give her another chance to put her dress on! YESSS! Y’all know how much I love bridal sessions :).

Anna’s a wedding photographer in the Frederick, MD area, so she knows how to work in front of the camera. I could photograph her all day!! She’s absolutely stunning, has the cutest little laugh, and her soft smile? It’s killer. We met up in Leesburg on a cloudy fall afternoon for what have definitely become some new favorites of mine.
