denise & brett, part one: cleveland ohio wedding photographer

Occasionally I like to over share. Usually it's with words. I'll mean to only tell someone a quick thought and end up sharing my entire life's story. That is how this blog post is going to go. 

I love getting ready photos for so many reasons - mainly, I love capturing a bride preparing to see her future husband for the first time. Looking her best and experiencing every emotion under the sun; happiness, nervousness, excitement ... all while being surrounded by her best friends and closest family - it's a wonderful time to capture photos ... which is why I am about to over share Denise's getting ready photos with you. And by over share, I mean that this post contains 65 pictures. I apologize, I just can't help it.

Denise had some pretty awesome bridesmaids - they ironed clothing for her. Sewed up a ripped seam in her dress. Stood by her at all times for laughter and support. Helped her get in her dress and make sure her veil looked just perfect. They were pretty fabulous. And up until Denise had to open Brett's present, she was able to keep it together the whole afternoon :)

Here we go!

(part two will be on the blog for you soon!)
