JT Artistry and I came to San Francisco to beautify Elaine.  Sometimes during the wedding day, there won’t be enough time to take glamour or beauty portraits, so Elaine and her fiance Alex decided to do a “pre-wedding” portrait session.  Elaine purchased an extra wedding dress to wear on this day, so she can get it dirty without feeling guilty.

With my series of “beauty” portraits, I wanted to showcase bridal portraiture.  It normally takes me about an hour or more to set everything up (backdrop, lighting, other accessories) but I love the results because it looks like it could be showcased in a magazine (maybe?!?!, Well, I could dream right?).  Right after Jen from JT Artistry finished beautifying Elaine, we took a few portraits before we headed out to our locations.  Here’s a few shots of beautiful Elaine.

Thank you Jeff for helping me out!
