I always wanted to photograph a bridal session at Tryon Palace, it is such a beautiful venue and so much history there! In May this year, it finally happened!! One of my dear clients from Goldsboro has a daughter that wanted her bridal portraits created at the Palace. I was thrilled and so the planning stage began.
And it took a LOT of planning - May was a pretty rainy month and we had to reschedule three times because of the weather. But it was so worth it - Brooke looked so awesome - and the weather was perfect!
Our concierge was so helpful - we started in the stable - I love the contrast of the rustic interior and the elegance of Brooke's gown.


I have always loved this arbor pathway - and the lighting was just perfect for this image.
I love this in black and white!
At 5:00 we entered the palace itself, and had access to the foyer and the floating staircase. This images were a "must have" for our bride!

Then we started through the gardens, stopping along the way to capture images. So many great locations!

Now, back out to the gardens for a few more images before we lose the "sweet light". A perfect ending to an absolutely perfect session.
