{Seattle Wedding Photography} A First for me - Lacing a Bride into her Wedding Dress!

I met Yadira at her home to take some pictures of her getting ready.  For most brides - there never seems to be enough time in the day.Yadira was a bit rushed to get ready and get to the church on time!  I was so thankful to have my good friend, Kim Preston, as my second shooter for this wedding because it ended up being the two of us lacing Yadira into her wedding dress. It was quite an honor to be helping Yadira on her wedding day.....having a daughter myself, I started to feel "Mother of the Bride" emotions!
I noticed this 8x10 picture of Yadira displayed on a side table. I couldn't believe my good fortune! Yadira explained that she was 3 in this picture.  It was sweet to watch her reflect on it.

Okay, getting down to business...the bridal shots.  Like I said, we had about 5 minutes to take these pictures because we needed to get Yadira to the church on time!  I should really start taking pictures of the rooms I photograph in - to give perspective.  For the next few images - we faced Yadira to the light coming through the window.  All of these images are with natural light only.... I love the effect.



Oh, those Spanish eyes!!! I love them!  They remind me of my Maid of Honor's big, beautiful eyes!  The next two images are taken at Saint Thomas Roman Catholic Church.  Yadira is in the church office waiting to go down the aisle...again, I faced her toward the window and shot both all of the images using only natural light. 




Getting ready to walk down the aisle, always a tender moment for the father.



Ceremony to come....
