Real Brides: Nicole C.

Photographer/Videographer: Shelby Liz Co. Photography

Ryan and I were work acquaintances for a couple of years before we started dating; he sat next to my best friend so we had a good amount of time for fun, friendly banter.  The timing wasn't right in the beginning, but one Friday night I was out with a friend and we got out of our Uber and who was there in the window - Ryan!  We joined him and his friends for a drink before heading to dinner, but the spark was strong enough to where we met back up with them after.  The rest is history!

I knew exactly what I wanted; sleeves!  I had done some research and had several pictures to show the bridal boutique. My timeline was tough (3 months!) so I opted for the sample dress, but with some imagination and rushing additional fabric, I was able to create exactly what I'd envisioned!
