Rachel White = Rose Hill Estate Bridal Session

Rose Hill Estate  |  Bridal Session  |  Rachel White  |  August 18, 2021

There are just some brides that make my job so EASY… and Rachel is definitely one of them. She’s always quick to smile that gorgeous smile of hers, laugh, and is just so genuinely sweet!!! I was looking forward to her Bridal Session not only because we share the love of a classic, timeless style, but also because her Engagement Session we photographed in February was GORGEOUS. I loved it sooooo much – from the outfits, to the happiness Rachel exudes – everything was just perfection.

Rachel and I are both “planners” – so we’d been watching the weather all week in anticipation for her session. The weather was forecasting rain & scattered thunderstorms, but we decided to take the chance and roll with it! After a really DARK, gloomy afternoon and torrential rains in Wilson… the evening turned out to be soooo pretty, with the sun peeking through for a lot of the session, and NO RAIN! We were so thankful for a beautiful night to be outside!

The only problem was that it was HOT. Like, really reallyyyyy hot. Rachel was an amazing sport to sweat it out with us and be a TROOPER in that NC humidity. We seriously had sweat pouring off of us… but Rachel kept a smile on her face regardless!!!!

Rachel looked absolutely stunning in her gown. It’s so feminine and delicate with these floral appliqués that have little silver detailing on them. Rachel got her veil CUSTOM-MADE with those same appliqués to match her dress. Her whole look just was beautiful. Rachel’s bouquet was super unique with textures and greenery that made the bouquet look very whimsical and garden-esque.

It was an absolute JOY to photograph Rachel, just like I’d been hoping. She was literally a NATURAL, and her movements were so graceful and easy. I barely had to explain posing to Rachel, it was incredible seeing her pose. Her mom Winnie was just as sweet, and we loved spending the afternoon with both of these ladies.

I can’t wait for ya’ll to scroll down and see some of my favorites from Rachel’s session below. ENJOY!!!!
