I can easily sing praises as to why I love bridal sessions! Before her big day, Rebecca got all dressed up in her wedding gown and we took an afternoon for her hometown Southwest Virginia bridal session! Her beautiful southwest Virginia bridal session at the Historic Masonic Theatre was so fun. She twirled. She posed. And she got some photos beforehand at her parents house!
When sessions incorporate pieces of my couples story, it makes my heart happy. And what better piece to her story than starting at her childhood home? And with her dog, Bella! (Give me allll the pups at sessions!) Stepping into her gown in her childhood bedroom, and with her sister (one of my closest friends!) by her side to fluff her dress, we had the most fun on a hot, June afternoon.
The town Rebecca is from boasts an incredible historic theatre. This is a theatre Rebecca spent several dance recitals at. And it offers a classic feel…perfect for her session! We couldn’t sing their praises enough! If you’re searching for a location for a wedding reception in Southwestern Virginia, check out the Historic Masonic Theatre here.
We wrapped up her bridal session in the flower garden behind the theatre. Gorgeous summertime florals were the perfect backdrop. If you’re a bride and haven’t planned your Virginia or Nashville bridal session yet, I’d love to chat! Want to see more of Rebecca’s wedding day? Check out her Cleveland, Ohio wedding here!
