Leigh wanted her bridal session in a bar called Lustre Pearl and that is reason number one why I love this girl. She’s also gorgeous, fun to be around, and knows how to laugh. Plus, what a lovely idea for a location to do bridals!
Lustre Pearl really was the perfect spot for her session – it’s an amazing old house in a historic neighborhood in Austin that features French neon signs, light blue paint peeling from the interior revealing the planks that make up the walls, dirt covering the floors, and beautiful, vintage light fixtures. It’s inspiring, it’s cosy, and I could practically live in there.
