Dramatic Bridal-Style Portraits in Raleigh: A Fun Photo Shoot

Share

This week I had a great chance to take a client out and photograph her in a more dramatic fashion.  Bridal portraits in Raleigh, NC are a really big deal to many brides and, to be truthful, Kim is not a bride but someone who volunteered to come out and be photographed.  It’s important to note she is not a model (I think she should be) but we went out and did the below photos in 15 minutes.  This was all part of a competition for a group of wedding photographers I help run and even though I can’t enter the competition, I wanted to go out and play as well.  The below are just a few photos from her bridal portraits.  I hope you enjoy!
