Inspirational Bridal Shoot: City Chic ...

From the country to the city and everywhere in between, you can find wedding inspiration right from your location, which is why every big day is unique and beautiful in it's own way. I've always loved the idea of a city wedding; walking downtown through the crowds and busy streets in my dress and trying to catch a cab! If we were to plan it all over again this City Chic Inspirational Bridal Shoot from Amy-Jo Tatum Bridaland photographer Dominic Colacchiowould help push all other ideas aside and win me over with planning a downtown, city wedding!
