Ariana’s White oaks on the Bayou Bridal Portraits

Happy Wedding Day to Ariana & Hunter!

I can’t believe this day is finally here. I am sure after all of their hard work, Ariana & Hunter can’t either.

As it is my tradition to keep bridal portraits under lock and key until after the wedding day– for obvious reasons– I am starting a new tradition. I’m sharing the bridal session on the wedding day, after Hunter has had his chance to see Ariana first.

A little over a month ago, I met up with Ariana, her mother and sister, Sophia at White Oaks on the Bayou out in Simonton. It was a pretty steamy May afternoon. Luckily, we were able to take the majority of the bridal portraits inside the White Oaks venue. We only ventured out for a few minutes at the end. Thank God for the breeze!

Ariana’s mom and Sophia were such a huge help! I couldn’t have gotten half of the amazing photos I did with out their help. Also, I probably would have fallen off Betsy, my ladder, if it weren’t for their assistance.

Ariana looked stunning in that lace adorned mermaid gown. I’m especially obsessed with the crystal and rose-gold belt. The belt matched Ariana & Hunter’s ring perfectly. In fact, her necklace and earnings were also the same breathtaking rose-gold color. The long veil put the look over the top. I loved that the veil was just a little longer than her train. Can you believe she bought if off someone on Facebook!? Ariana made that dress look good! I wish I could pull off the mermaid look.

Lades and gentlemen, here’s what the future wedding trends are going to look like. Let us know what you think about the bridal portrait session or just congratulate the happy couple on just now tying the knot, literally.
