Yesterday, I was able to help my sister-in-law Sarah as she underwent a day of beauty and photos for her bridal portrait for her upcoming wedding in April. And the one major thought I had was, this is fun and best of all it is NOT ME!
I loved getting married and doing all the fun things that went with it, but there were so many things I could have done with out. Here's a little run-down of the things I got to help with but was not totally affected by!
1. Makeup - fake eye lashes -- good or bad?
2. Haircut - why did they shampoo and blowout right before I got an updo?
3. Updo - I like it in the back, by why does it remind me of Marie Antoinette?
4. Updo part 2 - I don't like it!!! -- bride to be proceeds to take it down and remake it while Holly and I run to the store to find appropriate hair clips
5. Flowers - who asked for pale yellow. Ick. Holly and I proceed to rip out the yellow flowers and brown berries to replace with pretty red
6. Running late - never fun
7. Permit?? - so now they make you have a permit to shoot? lovely...run to permit office
8. Freezing cold weather in a sleeveless dress - guess it beats my shoot in the 90 degree heat.
Here's to Sarah and Adrian and the fact that Joe and I are already married! =)

Haha! Yes, it is nice to see it from the other side! I'm sure the pictures will turn out great!
Too fun! I never had bridal portraits done except the day of. How fun to be the center of attention...and then to not be the center!
The good thing about bridal portraits is that you get to figure out things (like how you DON'T want the updo or flowers) before the big day. Isn't funny how you dream about your wedding as a little girl and then it turns out to be such work!?
Ah, yes... wedding drama.
If her wedding is in April, you should pull an April Fools joke on her like you tried on me. :-)
A word of caution, you can only do this to a bride who has not reached her freakout stage, yet. Otherwise, she will not handle it well.
I thought it was funny, though. :-)
