Winter Bridal Portraits at Yankee Hall | Alexis Vann Whisner

May 14, 2021

Spring Bridal Portraits at Yankee Hall, NC

I am heading into the archives for these but I couldn’t NOT share them. Alexis makes a stunning bride!!! Her and Tyler’s winter wedding at Yankee Hall was magical and I was thankful to spend even more time with Alexis in front of my camera before the hustle of the wedding day.

With it being my first time at Yankee Hall, I was so thankful to have the chance to photograph the space before the day off. That’s a huge benefit of scheduling bridals at your venue…because we get to see where all of the best light and location about the venue, your best angles in your dress, how your makeup and hair photographs, etc. before the big day! Yankee Hall has so much to offer and we used every bit of it (and even some of the neighbors fields…ha!).

Bridal portraits will always be something I love to offer my couples because it’s a way to have fun while also having a slow-paced, special day with your mom, MOH, or other special people in your life (besides your fiance, of course!).

I had such a hard time choosing a favorite from Alexis’ gallery but I do think it may be a tie between the ones in the sunroom on the couch and the ones in the fall leaves! Comment your favorites below 🙂
