You don't always have to go too far, or choose an out-of-the-way location, to find beautiful spots to take bridal portraits!
This young bride -- one of my first ever -- decided to use her uncle's recently landscaped back yard to take her pre-wedding bridal photos.
We used benches, ponds, trees, and the garden gate, plus we even had some fun with a little frog sculpture near the coy pond that made for a perfect "kiss the frog and turn him into a prince" moment!
