Airlie Gardens Bridal Photography by Wilmington NC Wedding Photographer Chris Lang

The perfect ingredients for a magazine style bridal portrait session.  Not to over use a word but what other word do you use when you see her in her dress in the backdrops of Airlie Gardens.  Connor looked amazing in her stunning wedding dress. This made for a perfect combination of bride, dress, and location.  Finally, after a busy season, I get to share a few photos of her Bridal Session    

Airlie Gardens - A Candy Jar of Beautiful Backdrops

Airlie Gardens is certainly on my top of the list if not thee top for photographing bridal portraits.  Airlie Gardens is located just a few minutes from Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington NC.  This lush garden provides stunning backdrops no matter the season.  I am a huge fan of photographing bridal sessions outdoors.  When you have huge canvas like Airlie Gardens to work with as your background it becomes more difficult to limit your locations inside the garden rather than trying to find locations that might work as 2 hours session fly by.  Airlie Gardens is a candy jar of incredible backdrops.

If you are looking for a perfect location to have your wedding, or to photograph your bridal portraits, Airlie Gardens weddings may be the place for you.   I just loved how this session with Connor came out and to be honest, she made my job easy creating these bridal portraits.  Even though locations influence the photography and style, for me, it is the bride, her personality and her dress that make the bridal photography come alive.  If I had my way I think every bride should shave a bridal session.

For bridal photography I like to create on different cameras and use different brands such as canon, fuji and sony cameras in my current work flow.    They all have their own personalities and characteristics.  For me, it really comes down to the lenses.  For bridal sessions I get to use one of my all time favorites.   The legendary Canon 200 f2.    This is a lens that really has no other comparison in regards to the compression and style.  This is the one lens I can shoot wide-open with no hesitation in losing detail or have issues of softness.  Truly is a master piece lens that separates itself apart in style.
