Michelle's Bridals

I met Michelle in downtown Boise for her bridal portraits. She chose a vintage gold gown in lieu of the traditional white dress and looked beautiful. What I love about downtown is that in the course of one city block, there are about 1 million possibilities. We did not have to wander far to find some fabulous spots that really highlighted the dress and with cloud cover, the lighting was dramatic. Michelle loves to laugh but is genius at "serious." Most people say they can't do "serious" in front of a camera, but look at the payout. Serious rocks!

These first shots are arguably my favorites. Serious. Happy.















The heart on the sidewalk was a complete coincidence, but fit in nicely with
a *bridal* shoot.





I love the "swishing" of the dress shots. They scream of elegance and grace...and fun!
