This photo session with my dear friend Chelsey made for such a beautiful afternoon. It was on one of the first semi-warm days of March with that crisp fresh air and the scent of daffodils that fill you with nostalgia of springtimes past.

I assembled some "scraps" from a recent wedding (those photos to come soon...) into a bridal bouquet, using cherry branches, ming fern, anemones, tulips, ranunculus, lisianthus, and one of my favorites, the woodsy hellebore flower. Chelsey put her wedding dress back on from almost two years back this June, did her makeup (she happens to be a talented makeup artist as well), and we set out in search of some enchanting back-drops.
