Lyndsay | Spring Bridal Session at Sarah P. Duke Gardens

Lyndsay and her new husband Brian celebrated their marriage this past Saturday with a beautiful spring wedding at the Duke Chapel in Durham, NC. Lyndsay was such a beautiful bride and her gorgeous dress was so fitting for a grand ceremony at the Duke Chapel. For her bridal session, Lyndsay wanted to incorporate her beautiful ceremony location, so we headed over to the Sarah P. Duke Gardens the week before her wedding. The Sarah P. Duke Gardens was in full bloom this time of year. There were hundreds of vibrant tulips, cherry blossoms, and azaleas blooming all around us. I don’t think the timing (or the weather) could have been any more perfect! For those who may not be familiar, the Sarah P. Duke gardens is located in Durham on the Duke University campus, right across from the chapel. Lyndsay’s hair and makeup perfectly complimented her elegant style, and she wore a stunning pearl necklace from her late grandmother. Even more beautiful is Lyndsay’s bubbly personality. We got some great laughs out of her while photographing in the gardens. We walked all around the grounds from the iconic red bridge to the tulip garden. We also took some photos in front of the gorgeous Duke University Chapel. We had a wonderful time hanging out with Lyndsay and her mom Laura. I think we can all agree that she made a beautiful bride. Congratulations to Lyndsay and her new husband Brian! ~ Josh and Shelley
