Yesterday morning was the time that Missy had set for me to do her Bridals and some couple pictures of her and Jesse together. Unfourtunately, the weather didn't cooperate with our outside shooting plans. So, inside of taking pictures at Memory Grove and the Bountiful Temple, we took pictures inside the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. I am really happy woth how well they turned out.
