This portrait session was done in Uptown Charlotte.  Ashli is getting married on March 8th, so we really needed to get the bridal portrait done.  The first day we had scheduled the weather was bad, but then next time we lucked out with an absolutely gorgeous day for February.  I don’t think looking at the pictures…

If you’re one of the thousands of brides who will be attending a bridal show in the upcoming weeks, a little bit of preparation can make all of the difference between a waste of time and a fruitful experience.  So many brides go to a show and spend hours and hours trying to talk to as…
