Emma had her hair and makeup trial earlier that morning, giving her a flawless bridal look. This not only helped her envision her wedding day but also ensured she felt and looked her best in every photo. Her makeup was soft and romantic, complementing the natural beauty of Old Salem’s historic backdrop.

Emma brought with her a stunning handcrafted bouquet. It had a meaningful touch. She added a small heirloom bible and wedding rings, connecting her past and present in a symbolic and beautiful way. These sentimental details were the perfect addition to her bridal portraits, adding depth and personal significance to every shot.
