From Target to Timeless: A Charlotte Bridal Shoot Adventure

When Creativity Meets Charlotte: A Bridal Shoot Adventure.

Sometimes the best shoots aren’t the ones planned to perfection, but the ones that happen when creativity and a little spontaneity come together. That’s exactly what happened when a bride and I teamed up in Charlotte, NC, for a bridal session that turned out more magical than either of us imagined.

From Target to Timeless

Our day started in the most unexpected place: Target. Yes — the bride slipped into her wedding gown right in the store, and we couldn’t resist capturing some shots of her strolling the aisles in full bridal glory. The curious stares and smiles from shoppers added to the fun, and it gave us such a lighthearted start to what became a truly elegant day.

One of the funniest moments came from a TikTok hack we decided to try. We picked up a simple shower liner, cut a hole in the middle, and slipped it under the gown so she could walk more easily while keeping the dress clean. To our surprise — it actually worked perfectly. Proof that a little resourcefulness (and social media inspiration) can go a long way.

The District Attorney’s Office: Our Unexpected Venue

Without a traditional wedding venue booked for the shoot, we turned to one of Charlotte’s hidden gems: the District Attorney’s Office building. You wouldn’t expect it, but the space was striking — full of architectural details, clean lines, and elegant light that transformed the photos into something extraordinary.
