Columbia SC Bridal Portraits

Bridal portraits are one of my most favorite sessions. I love the anticipation of seeing the bride in her dress!

I also really enjoy seeing her get used to the dress throughout the session since it’s typically the first time she has worn it for more than just a few minutes.

Kirsten and Adam have been married for a week now, so I can finally share her bridal portraits that we took over a month ago! For Kirsten’s bridal photos, she wanted to use the Horseshoe at USC and also the South Carolina Statehouse grounds.

When she mentioned these spots, I was automatically on board!

Kirsten and her sister knew all of the perfect spots all around the Horseshoe and enjoyed being back on campus. I loved getting to spend time with Kirsten, her sister, and their mom.

We were a little concerned about rain and the heat and had a few backup plans, but we ended up getting to hit all the spots we wanted to, with no rain!

I LOVED Kirsten’s sweetheart dress! I don’t think I have ever seen a wedding gown that has a layer of tulle OVER top of the lace! Seriously such a neat dress! I loved it so much!

The dress was so elegant but also subtle and so classic.
