Many of you will remember Brea from her amazing vintage engagement session. You can see those here and here. There were so many touching details about Brea’s bridal session that I just have to share with you. First, ever since Brea was a little girl she had dreamed of one day being married in her own mothers beautiful wedding gown. However, as she grew older and began planning her own special day she realized that deep down she wanted the opportunity to create memories of her own. So, she settled for the next best thing. The amazing hat that Brea is wearing was actually made from the tulle from her mother’s dress!! How beautifully ridiculous is that?? Brea said she “threw it together” the previous evening with a little help from her somewhat emotional mother. Secondly, Brea’s beloved grandmother Tobia passed away this last year. Tobia is Yiddish for dove and Brea chose to pay a special homage to Grandmother Tobia with the release of a white dove ( who I affectionately named Sam for some reason).

Sometimes I feel as though I am the luckiest photographer in the world. Having the opportunity to document the lives of beautiful people with an already amazing history never ceases to blow my mind. Here are a few of my favorite images from Brea’s unforgettable Bridal session…
