I wanted to treat my bridesmaids to some professional photos for my wedding website. The majority of them live in Columbus, Ohio my hometown and the location of our wedding. My sister and two other bridesmaids live in California where I now reside. So my maid of honor arranged for all the girls to meet up with one of my favorite artist, Kendra (she's so much more than a photographer).

The girls Face Timed me the whole time so I felt somewhat involved, although I really wish I could have flown home and surprised them. I need to stop watching reality tv and movies, It's making me think I have money to do things I can't lol. At the end of the day, the girls all looked so beautiful and we got some amazing images. My bridesmaid Abby who is also an artist captured some great candids from behind the scenes. I'll soon introduce all of my bridesmaids and how we know one another. However, until then enjoy these images of a few of my beautiful ladies. A couple girls had prior engagements and couldn't make it, but they were there in spirit. I'm extremely grateful to have all of these amazing women in my life and any time they spare is appreciated. My bridesmaids are all creative, loving women who work hard everyday. Some are mothers, some are business women and some are both. They all mean so much to me and represent different stages in my life and these are the people who were there the most and have continued to grow with me.

True friendship is a blessing. I never take for granted how loved I am.
