Oh my goodness, I am so honored to share these bridal portraits of a young woman beautiful inside and out!

I was not Ciera’s wedding photographer, but I just recently had the honor of photographing her bridal portraits a year and a half after her wedding (who says you can’t do them at a later date?!). Ciera is absolutely stunning in this Allure Bridals gown and as an esthetician, she know a think or two about skin care and make up…so she did her own make up AND hair for this session as well as a DIY bouquet. Wow, Ciera! And what a great job she did!

We went back to the area where she and Mitch tied the knot near the Woodville/Sperryville area of Rappahannock County as well as to the Jenkins Orchard. It was a beautiful morning and a perfect time for these! We even have a few ring shots to share with her beautiful heirloom opal!

This is what Ciera’s husband, Mitch, had to share about their love story…

“The deep bond that we share today, started when we were young teenagers. Looking back at it now, we both felt a genuine love for each other, but we were only kids. We never experienced that before! Through the next several years, we went through a lot of ups and downs that really challenged us. The most challenging moment was ending our engagement and saying goodbye. In that time away, we both felt so lonely and empty without each other; everything was gray. Eventually, we couldn’t ignore the real love and friendship we had for each other. So against all odds (and there was opposition), we chose to be together; to share in a life full of color. We learned that life isn’t easy and relationships need investment. It’s a difficult road sometimes, but having each other is what makes it all worth it. We have a stronger love because of that and it continues to get better with every day we face together.”

Ciera, you are a beautiful bride and a lovely woman and wife! And I know Mitch agrees!
