After the first look, we were joined by the bridal party for portraits round the grounds at Elm Bank.  The sun was beating down on us, but we started with a few shots in Weezie’s Garden, in amongst those gorgeous wildflowers.

Not wishing to induce sunstroke, I suggested we move to a shadier spot.  I grabbed individual shots of the entire bridal party – a sort of attractive rogues’ gallery, if you will.  🙂

I think these shots will look so neat in Jess and Chris’ album!  We stayed in the shade and played first with the girls:

I’m LOVING the gorgeous flowers by Land Escapes … especially Jess’ amazing bouquet.  I’m also kinda loving these photos of Jess and Chris …

I love having a lot of time to spend with the couple and bridal party – we can get so much more creative with lighting, angles, poses and lenses.  A few more fun ones to finish off … and stay tuned because tomorrow I’ll be posting the ceremony.  It was pretty rad.  🙂
