A Gazillion Gorgeous Photos....

The talented Don from D.Bryant Photography graciously sent over these photos for Up-Do's to use! So often we never get to see our work at its best (professionally photographed or in person at the event) so needless to say I'm enthusiastic to share these with you!

As I viewed the photos from Kate's September wedding, I felt as though I was there. I left shortly before the girls were headed to ceremony at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. I adored Kate, her bridesmaids, her cute Grandmother and her super sweet Mom. I really could have hung out all day with these girls! The girls prepared for the big day at the Lowe's Hotel. The rooms there are fabulous. I've also felt as though we could provide a second opinion as we tour hotels every weekend! So the Lowe's Hotel gets my vote!

On a quick side note~ I met my family after her wedding at Carol's Creek for brunch. It was delicious and I highly recommend trying it out! It would actually be a great location for a bridal shower! Mmmmm mimosas!

Back to Kate's wedding~ The title of this post, " A Gazillion Gorgeous Photos..." is because I had the most difficult time picking my favorite. Don truly captured some breathtaking shots and they definitely top my all time favorites! The pictures make me want to get married all over again (of course to my sweet husband. I wouldn't switch him for another guy).

Enjoy!

My first hairstyle of the morning! They always put the girls with the most hair first! Gorgeous hair color and perfect hairstyle for her :)

Love the height! It really makes a big difference! We didn't even use a bump-it!

Birdcage veils rock!

I think this picture should be on the cover of a magazine!

How perfect is this? Designer dress, luscious lighting, perfect pose and beautiful bride! Incredible!!!

I love to hear what our brides think after the big day is over and things have settled back in to a normal day pace.

Thank you SO much for making me, my mom, grandmother, and bridesmaids beautiful on my wedding day! We had so much fun getting ready with you in the morning and loved that you came to us so that we never had to leave the hotel room! I was absolutely thrilled with how elegant my hair turned out and our incredible photographs are a living testament to your fabulous work. My hair was spectacular from every angle and it felt and looked perfect from 9am when I sat down in your chair until 11pm when my husband and I finally made it to our honeymoon suite. Despite the classic Annapolis Labor Day heat, humidity, and Severn River breeze, my bridesmaids and I had immaculate up-dos all day long. I cannot thank you enough for all you did to make me feel beautiful on such a meaningful day!

Cheers!
Kate

P.S. Thank you for somehow (miraculously) giving my hair tons of body without teasing it! I was dreading having to take it down at the end of the night but was VERY pleasantly surprised when I took a brush to it. You are the best :)
