March Bride

You never really know what to expect when you photograph people outside with Utah’s unpredictable winter weather. I was photographing a bride last Sunday and due to circumstances beyond our control, Sunday was the only day we could shoot her bridals. And wouldn’t you know it, we were suppose to have a huge snow storm on Sunday. I remember looking outside Saturday evening around eleven and the road was already covered with snow and it was coming down hard. I thought for sure we were going to be bringing her shoot in doors, but she really wanted outdoor photos.

Sunday morning brought bright sunny skies and a heat wave. I didn’t even have to shovel the drive way as the snow had all melted by mid-morning. So we went from snow covered ground to muddy wet grass! But you make it work.

Cassie was awesome and so patient. When I mentioned heat wave above, I meant it was above freezing, but that isn’t exactly warm for a sleeveless wedding gown. She was so great and the cold didn’t phase her a bit. She just kept that smile on her face and looked stunning the whole time.

Her photos turned out so well and she was absolutely gorgeous. I love that dress too. So elegant!
