Il Bella Gardens Bridal Session Photos with Christina | Charlotte Wedding Photographer

When she first got engaged, we were trying to figure out what venue she was going to have for her wedding. One day, she called me up and said she had the answer… Her fiance’s parents’ backyard! “I know it sounds crazy, but when I was there, I looked over and saw the tire swing. I want to be able to push my future children on that swing and tell them about how I got married right there.” And everything fell into place.

With having a backyard wedding, she wanted bridals that kind of fit the look of the sweet southern woods, and I immediately thought of Il Bella Gardens! On the way over there, she mentioned wanting sun-drenched photos… And it was cloudy. I was hoping and praying we’d get a break in the clouds, and to my great surprise, we got TWO! And during those two brief moments, you know – right before the sky opened up and storms broke loose, we rocked out as many poses as we could! I’m so excited to share these with you guys 🙂 Enjoy!
