Getting Ready & The Details

Shelfie and Connor got ready separately with their wedding parties in the suites at Empeiria 110. Shelfie and her bridesmaids got ready upstairs in the spacious bridal suite, furnished with couches, a private bathroom, and designated spaces for hair and makeup. Shelfie’s dress was simple yet so pretty, perfectly elongating her figure—she looked absolutely stunning! She also wore a locket inscribed with “Dan’s Heart”, a cherished family heirloom that each of her sisters had worn on their wedding days in honor of their late father.

One of my favorite things I’ve seen bridesmaids create is a scrapbook of pictures and memories for the bride to look at the morning of the wedding. It was such a thoughtful and heartwarming way to start the day! Meanwhile, Connor and his groomsmen got ready in the groom’s den, which was just as spacious as the bridal suite. It had comfortable couches and a flat-screen TV, perfect for the guys to hang out before the ceremony.

After capturing wedding party portraits, Shelfie, Connor, and I headed out to get their portraits on the stunning grounds of Empeiria 110 wedding venue. Connor and Shelfie opted to skip day-time portraits, choosing instead to do them all during golden hour, which I loved! The venue’s grounds are well-kept and ideal for portraits, offering everything from open grassy areas and manicured gardens to a charming arched waterfall. There’s no shortage of beautiful locations for portraits at this venue, that’s for sure!
