Just weeks before my best friend was to be married, we decided to shoot an impromptu bridal portrait. We dolled her up before one of her fittings and shot the portrait right in the boutique. La Mariée Haute Couture Bridal in Sarasota has a fabulous mirror that provided a simple backdrop for the shot that was displayed at her wedding reception.

Sara’s wedding was photographed by Reign 7 Studios — they did an amazing job. (I already had my hands full as a bridesmaid and her wedding planner!) But I did snap a few shots of her gown the morning of her wedding, along with the cute hanger gifted by her sister-in-law.
