Sandra's Bridal Session

We had so much fun shooting Sandra's Bridal session. We met downstairs at the Casa De Palmas Renaissance Hotel in McAllen. If you haven't been to this hotel, you need to go. They have some really neat areas and the food is great.

We started downstairs and the bartender walks by. I asked Sandra if she minded posing at the bar. Sandra had no problem with it, but the bartender wasn't too keen on getting his photo taken. He was a great sport and had some fun with us. It was funny because we saw him when we went back to do the wedding and he wanted to know how the photos turned out.

Sandra is such a sweetheart and we had a great time. She was up for just about anything we wanted to do. I had some photos in mind by the pool, but it was soooooo hot that day. We didn't stay outside very long, but we were able to get some great shots by the fountain, pool and entry way.

Kandice's Bridal Session

One of the hardest things for us to do is to keep bridal photos a secret! We do keep them secret, and only allow access to the bride and whoever she gives the password to until after the wedding. We get so excited about the bridal session photos though that we want to show them to everyone. Bridal sessions are a lot of fun, both for the bride and for us. It is a more relaxed atmosphere and we are able to joke around and try a lot of different ideas. Essentially, we have you all to ourselves for the time that we are at the session. Which is completely different than your wedding day. On your wedding day you want to get the photos done quickly so you can get to your guests.

We have had some awesome sessions recently. Some of the sessions are done a couple months before the wedding, so by the time we are able to post photos, we are in the process of getting the wedding photos up for everyone to view. So, to make a long story short, we are playing catch up for the next few posts with some Bridal sessions that we have done over the past few months.

The first is Kandice Duke (Krenek). Kandice is such a sweetheart and we have had so much fun shooting her and Jason's engagement session and then wedding. They and their family have become like family to us. Sounds weird, but we develop that relationship with a lot of our clients.

So, here are some photos from Kandice's Bridal session that we shot at Casa Rama in Harlingen.

Kandice loved to twirl in her dress!!

This bedroom was gorgeous and Kandice had a great time lounging on the bed.

The pool and backyard at Casa Rama are gorgeous. It didn't take much to get Kandice to take her shoes off and relax a little.

The front door is huge and makes such a great backdrop for a photo

As we were walking around the property, Kandice mentioned that they had this gorgeous bathroom and would we be up for taking some photos in the bathroom. OF COURSE!!!
