Fort Macon Bridal Portrait with Brittany

Honestly, one of the hardest things to do as a wedding photographer is to have a bridal session with a fabulously beautiful bride, in a gorgeous dress, on a perfect day, rush home and be giddy with excitement while processing files, and then have to sit on them until after the wedding! No Facebook. No Instagram. No Pintrest—not even a tweet.  Total social silence, because yes, there are fiancés who are the equivalent of Sherlock Holmes when they think they are being kept in the dark and the internet is a goldmine of info and imagery so until the big day, “mums the word”.

But finally, Brittany has married Kalen and I can share some of the photos from this awesome Fort Macon bridal shoot. The arches and brickwork there always set a perfect stage for brides and when the breeze would catch Brittany’s veil….oh, it just took my breath away.

The whitewashed brickwork inside Fort Macon creates a heavenly location for bridal portraits

The arches create a natural frame for a beautiful bride

I love how the details on the back of her dress are visible in the almost silhouette image

Brittany’s hair was just perfect and even the wind did nothing but compliment the contemporary style

Outside along the nature path at Ft Macon, the light glowed around the bride amplifying this serene spot
