Jungle Gardens Bridals: Natalie

Your eyes aren’t deceiving you; she’s really THAT gorgeous!

After 8 years of waiting, this past Saturday, Natalie married the man of her dreams. For her engagements, she would look at Nick and all of her nerves would disappear. And I saw it happen again on her wedding day: When she saw Nick, she would forget how sick she felt. Nick loves her with every bit of his heart. He’s so patient and so gentle with her. Seeing them inspires me in my own relationship to put my own selfish feelings aside for the relationship.

Natalie is incredible; really…I don’t know many brides who would allow me to photograph them in the pitch black darkness, laying on a series of twisted branches that arched above an endless hole in the ground for a good photograph. But she did. She trusted me!!!

Since Natalie and I began working together for her wedding, I have grown to know her. And not only is she beautiful, she’s a beautiful person as well. Congratulations you two…I hope your off enjoying some QT with Mickey and Minnie. 🙂

I would like to send a special thanks to Tiffany for coming along and making the day so much fun for Natalie; you are such a good friend!!

Also, Potter’s Hair and Makeup Salon in Morgan City did a wonderful job! 🙂 I know Natalie was happy with everything!

This is the image Natalie chose for her bridal display.

She was a little nervous about doing something so non-traditional, but I applaud her for it!

And she received TONS of compliments on her selection!!!

This is my hands down all time favorite from her bridal session:

This is the photo I was referencing earlier. LOVE it.

Natalie, It’s been so fun working with you!! I can’t wait to post the photos from your wedding; the day went smoothly and I hope you two are both getting some nice R&R and starting to feel better. Natalie, you were such a strong woman for fighting through being sick on your wedding day. 🙂 I’ll see you guys soon!!
