๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ: ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐...?โฃ "The first brides wore wedding dresses in all colors. From Biblical times through the early 19th century, brides did not traditionally wear white. Not only was a white dress seen as impractical, it was not financially wise for brides to purchase a dress to wear only once. Therefore, most brides simply wore their fanciest dress on their wedding day. For brides in the lower classes, that often meant wearing a black dress. Brides with more means wore showier gowns in lush fabrics, featuring gold and silver embroidery, as well as fur. But these dresses could and would be worn again. ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟโฃ Queen Victoria started the white wedding dress trend. In 1840, Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in one of the first heavily-photographed royal weddings of the time. She chose to wear a white dress in Honiton lace in order to help the struggling factory where the fabric was created. She accessorized her white gown with a flower crown in lieu of a tiara to show that she would be a more down-to-earth monarch. Because this was one of the first โcelebrity weddings,โ the photos were shared around the world. Brides took note of Queen Victoriaโs white gown and thus began white wedding dress history as we know it."~ Wedding Wire. โฃ โฃ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ฉ: @TULLEBRIDALSโฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ: @harringtonflowersโฃ To see more of this session click the link in my bio > @klenoxphotography

My couples are classy and have an unfussy elegance about them. They are incredible, and each for their own reasons. So let's start by telling you what ISN'T a Badass Bride! โฃ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟโฃ Wellโฆ it doesnโt mean biker chicks who have been arrested. It certainly doesnโt mean being bitchy to others just to make yourself feel superior. It doesnโt mean demanding everyoneโs attention AT-ALL-TIMES.โฃ ๐๐๐๐๐๐โฃ ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐. ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. โฃ โฃ โขIf youโve been in trouble but can own up to making a mistakeโฆ now thatโs badass! โฃ โขโขโขโขโขโฃ โขPerhaps, you failed at something, only to keep trying harderโฆ thatโs badass!โฃ โขIf youโve stood by a friend through thick and thinโฆ thatโs BADASSโฃ โขIf you had a poor self-image- but you are working on loving yourself more- BADASS! โฃ โข Maybe you put yourself through college.

Being Badass means apologizing when itโs necessary. It means owning (and loving) who you are, faults and all! Being badass means forgiving yourself, and others. It means having the confidence to know what you want- with compassion and the confidence to let others know.โฃ โฃ ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐?

Engagement Sessions are the most fun! Why? Because we get to just relax, have a few drinks, make memories... all while creating beautiful and authentic images. โฃ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โฃ I want to get to know the ๐น๐๐๐ you. Why? Itโs because that's how I make my best work! I feel strongly about connecting with my couples. By connecting on a personal level, it allows me to truly tell your story. Seriously- I want to know your quirks and funny habits. ๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ค๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐. I love text messages when you've had a little too much to drink, and selfies from your gown fitting. If you'll let me... I'll be in, I'll be able to best tell your story. (And you get a new friend in the process. โฃ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โฃ To see more of this session click the link in my bio > @klenoxphotography 
Nowadays.... we are all concerned with perfection. Perfect photos. Perfect Weddings. Perfect Bodies. Etc. Even me... I want to try and create perfection for my couples....even though... I know thatโs impossible. โฃ ๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟโฃ SO..... I wanted to throw this out there... ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐จ ๐๐ค๐ง๐๐ฃ๐. ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐จ ๐ช๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ก๐. ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐จ ๐ค๐ซ๐๐ง๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐. And our future generations arenโt going to be concerned with what we consider โperfectโ. โฃ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐โฃ Photos arenโt just for us today. They are a gift to our future generations. And I think the greatest gift is giving them the opportunity to see honest, authentic, and real images of where they came from. That proved to be my experience when I looked through old photographs. And Iโm not referring to FB albums or an Instagram feed. Iโm talking about actual, Tangible photographs.โฃ ๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐โฃ Photographs will outlive us all. So for 2021.... letโs focus on now. Letโs focus on living in the moment... rather than trying to create perfection. And I think we will all be a little more appreciative of the amazingness we currently have.
