It was a beautiful day to take bridal portraits!  Sandra chose Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden for her bridal portraits, which just happens to be one of our favorite locations as wedding photographers.

We explored the entire garden, not missing out on any of the beautiful backgrounds: wooden bridges, graceful water elements, delicate flowers, and stately hedge pathways.

Sandra looked amazing in her whimsical wedding dress, light and airy.  She paired her wedding dress with a charming flower crown that totally completed her look.  It was as if she stepped out of an enchanted forest: gorgeous!
