Lani's Bridal Shoot

Five years of marriage and two children later, Lani thought it might be kinda cool to get some more pictures of her taken in her wedding dress. We agreed, naturally. (It really is never too late to take pictures when you really want them.) We also thought it would be fun to bring along some friends for this particular shoot and explore downtown Albany as the sun went down. We asked our friends, Andy & Elisha of e[a] Photography studios to come along. They agreed and we had such a fun (freezing) time last night!

In addition, we also talked with Heather at Thistle Dew Farms about providing a selection of bouquets for the event. If you are a bride in the area, we cannot recommend Heather highly enough. We used some of her sample preserved real flowers for the occasion and although these particular bouquets were around 3 years old -- you cannot tell! They look positively gorgeous, as you can clearly see from the pictures. Look Heather up. Use her flowers. You won't regret it. Here is an example of her "Vineyard" preserved real flowers bouquet:


Lani was such a great sport. She was even willing to climb a tree if we were really interested in that. In the better interest of her dress we declined, but all in all I'd say we walked away with some stuff we think she'll like. Here are some of our results:





Throughout the shoot people were driving by and congratulating Lani and complimenting her on her dress. It became rather humourous after awhile. It's really hard to tell she's had two kids, isn't it? Lani, you are beautiful!








Thank you, Lani, for the outing which couldn't have happened without you. Thank you, Elisha & Andy, for spending time shooting with us. As always, we loved your company! Thank you, Heather, for the amazing flowers. You do wonderful work!
