Summer of Bridal Showers

The Gift Table

Clasp my love around your neck,
Wear my heart on your finger.
My soul will be your pendant:
I live to adorn you -
You're the precious one.
~Grey Livingston

Ah, dear Reader!  After the hottest and driest Illinois summer I can remember, it's finally beginning to feel like fall!  Hurray! But before I embrace the long-awaited season of  knee-high boots, plaid skirts and scrumptious sweaters, I want to give summer one last peck on the cheek and share with you some of my favorite photos from the two lovely outdoor bridal showers I was blessed to photograph in August.

So here, in no particular order, are beautiful brides, gorgeous guests and delightful Pinterest-style parties! Enjoy!
