Leigh’s Bridal Pictures: Carolina Country Club Bridal Photos
I was very fortunate to be able to team up with Shannon from OneEleven Weddings to do Leigh’s Carolina Country Club Bridal photos earlier this year, and SO excited to be able to share them now that her wedding has passed. Carolina Country Club was gracious enough to allow us to give us free reign of the same venue that Leigh and Zach would be getting married at a few months later, and we made the most of it. A majority of the images we took are actually in the same room as their reception would be, even though due to some photographer magic, it might not look like it.
(It’s neat to be able to mention that the above image from this session has been given a four star award by The Wedding and Portrait Society in last month’s contest in the category ‘Framing The Subject. )
I really try very hard to not post a black and white and color version of similar images, but I just couldn’t help myself with these two! 
It was such a pleasure to be there to document both Leigh’s bridal portraits and her wedding after the fact. A lot of times as photographers we’re trying to figure out a puzzle on how to make beautiful portraits out of sometimes challenging situations, but in this case, we had the opposite. I’m particularly happy to share this session as I love good light and Carolina Country Club has FANTASTIC golden hour sunshine, both inside and outside of the venue, which always helps make my job easier.
