Vanessa’s Bridal Shower
I will be photographing a wedding later this month. The wedding photography opportunity came about as a result of word of month. I photographed my neighbor’s daughter’s wedding late last year. My neighbor’s coworker was looking for a photographer for her daughter’s wedding. My name was mentioned.
In late March, the bride-to-be (Vanessa) came to my house to look at photographs that I had taken of past weddings. Vanessa must have liked my photographs because she asked me to photograph her wedding. Vanessa and Sean’s wedding will be held on July 23.
As I do not know the members of the wedding party or their families, I thought it would be good to become acquainted with some of them before the wedding. I volunteered to take photographs at Vanessa’s bridal shower. The bridal shower took place this past Saturday (July 9). It was held at a picnic pavilion in Crescent Park in my hometown of Warren, Pennsylvania.

Bridal shower guests brought a pot luck dish to share as well as a recipe for that dish. The recipes will be put into a Newlywed Cookbook for Vanessa.
As is traditional at bridal showers, games were played.
Matching celebrity couples
Bridal bouquet toss – The person who tossed the bouquet the farthest won a prize.
Drawing game – The person who drew the best picture of a bride in a bridal gown won a prize.

That sounds like a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures.
Great pictures, Linda, and it looked to be a wonderful shower. Love the game of drawing a bride in a bridal gown– on your head!!!!!! Cute!You will do a fabulous job as photographer of their wedding. You are getting a nice business started, Linda!!!Hugs,Betsy
@Betsy – Photography isn't a business for me; it's a hobby. I charge so little for my time and service that I am practically giving it away.
The lucky couple will have beautiful photos as a memory of their special day. Good luck.

I've never been much of a shower person. I hate the games, but this looks like fun anyway!
These are wonderful pictures. I predict the wedding pictures will be even better.
You did a very nice job doing the bridal shower, capturing the most important events of her day. Very nicely done. Oh, I love your new resident in the sunset…cool. Let us know if he earns his keep.BlessYOurHeart
