Tea Party Bridal Shower

If you had asked us nine years ago if we thought we’d all still be friends, let alone CLOSE friends who end up singing so many rounds of “the wheels on the bus” in the car to calm crying babies, I don’t know if we would have said “yes!”

But here we are, nine years later. And we owe it all to the dance team at UMF. It’s how we all ended up meeting, and it truly did change our lives forever! Now that we’ve been out of college for five years now (holy smokes!) our friendship has changed a little bit. We all live in different places, so we don’t see each other as much as we’d like. But man, when we do it’s like NO time has passed! We are always there for each other and even have a secret FB group so that we can all easily stay in touch!

These girls. I honestly don’t know what my life would be like without them. They’ve been through it all with me. They’ve supported me, encouraged me, cried with me, and been there just when I needed someone to listen. We’ve celebrated babies, engagements, weddings, buying homes, new jobs, and everything in between.

My gosh. It’s justĀ such a special friendship and I am so damn grateful for it!

This past weekend we all traveled to Diamond Hill Vineyard to celebrate Katie for her tea party themed bridal shower! It was such a beautiful time! Everything was stunning and so well put together and just downright FUN!

Here are some of my favorite photos from the day! I was just there as a guest, but I can’t not bring my camera with me when my girls are involved! I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in the fall! It’s going to be so dreamy!Ā Tea Party Themed Bridal Shower photos by Linda Barry Photography.

One of the games was to make a dress out of toilet paper for one person at your table. We chose Callie. I know it’s unfair, because she’s the cutest thing there, but it was so fun! Her first wedding dress!

Trey’s not so little anymore šŸ™ But oh man, those beautiful brown eyes! Just like his mama!Ā

A day with these souls was just what I needed!Ā Tea Party Themed Bridal Shower photos by Linda Barry Photography. Click here to see more images from this beautiful event!

You can usually find me adding books to my never-ending ā€œto readā€ list; challenging myself to do things like not shop for a year; sneaking crispy m+ms from my secret hiding spot so I donā€™t have to share them with my daughter; and melting over seeing my children smiling at each other.

Oh and I guess I should mention - Iā€™m a seasoned Portland wedding photographer who provides not only kick-ass wedding photos, but also a meaningful and laid-back experience from the time you book to the delivery of your final images. 

I share all things personal, business, tips, and life as a mom and business owner here on the blog!

I'm Linda!
