Jessica: A Deconstructed Ranch Bridal Session

Two days before Jessica's gorgeous wedding, we met at her grandparent's ranch for a super laid back, deconstructed bridal session. Jessica donned her mother's wedding dress - custom fit and redesigned for her style, cowboy boots, and a bouquet that I crafted for the occasion. The day was filled with emotion, mosquitoes, and dreamy afternoon sunshine - the last we'd see for the remainder of the weekend. Jessica is, by far, one of the most classic beauties I have ever met. Her style is effortless - as evidenced by these photos. Sans makeup or professional hairstyling, she is still radiant. Gorgeous. Jessica: I wish we would have had our afternoon with wildflowers, but I'm so very thankful for our day at the ranch. xoxo 

Always Love,
Athena

grateful.

I am currently working on the images from Jessica+Matt's amazing wedding. I don't know how I am going to narrow down favorites for a blog post. There are far too many to love. These two people will forever hold a very special place in my heart. For their trust, their kindness, their willingness to go with the flow. And for their love.

Here is one of my absolute favorites from a little session Jessica and I had a few days before her wedding. The rest of the images will be coming in a few more days.
