You guyyyssss, my heart can barely take reliving these photos. Can’t imagine my emotions when I post the actual wedding shots (coming soon 😉)! We decided to arrive to our rehearsal dinner about an hour early so we could capture our excitement going into the weekend, and I’m SO glad we did! Even though this day was super jam-packed, making time to do something fun and lighthearted together before our guests arrived – that yielded some really cute pics – was so worth it.
I had the idea a few weeks before the wedding and decided to ask my blogger bestie Ella Elisa Edit if she’d be willing to do a little shoot. We take the majority of each other’s blog photos so I trust her with my life lol, and she has an awesome camera so I knew we’d get some nicer quality images. That baby angel was sweet enough to come to the rehearsal dinner venue hours before she had to be there for the welcome party, and just made the shoot super low key and such a blast. Shoutout to my girl Ella!! Follow her on insta and DM her if you’re local for your photo shoot needs 😊
Brides, if you’re considering a pre rehearsal dinner mini shoot, I would *highly* recommend it! Whether it’s a friend with iPhone portrait mode or your wedding photographer (they might have special rates for this!), you will not regret it.
For my outfit details, peep the links below. I also ended up wearing something different to my actual rehearsal (I’m extra haha), so keep scrolling for those details.
