Wedding Photo Preview!

July 20th, 2007 @ 6:42 pm by Mrs. Tomato

…from the amazing Scott Robert. I love the colors and his creative use of overlays!

If you don’t mind the groom seeing you before the walk down the aisle, I highly recommend spending a couple of hours before the wedding taking pictures (while the hair/makeup is still fresh and the dress relatively unwrinkled), and then a mini one when the guests are gone. I wanted a few photographs where Mr.Tomato and I were completely relaxed and having fun, as you can see from the latter ones in the hotel room where we’re jumping on the bed and I’m posing in the bathtub (it had a “trash the dress” feel without me having to actually trash the dress!).

In doing so, we were free to spend the majority of our “cocktail hour” mingling with our guests, and we didn’t have to worry about shooing away people that were in the background. It’s one of the best decisions we made in regards to our wedding.

One word of advice though–if you decide to jump on the bed, be careful not to knee your hubby in the um, you know, sensitive area before your wedding night as I did! Wedding Photo Preview! :  wedding napa valley pictures post wedding Stunned05 stunned05

Enjoy the preview!

Mr.Tomato waiting for me:

I love how the back of my dress looks here. Even Mr.Tomato said he liked and finally understood the beauty of the pewter buttons in the back:

This was our first moment together after Mr.Tomato saw me in my wedding attire (”You look REALLY good,” he whispered):

The wedding party!

Some “after-the-wedding” photos.

Obviously, this was before I “knee”d him:

The conservative ones (aka our parents) probably wouldn’t approve, but I love the sexy feel of these pictures:

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. The overlay works, it doesn’t get tedious or anything. These images are great.

Your pictures are amazing - my FI (we’re about to interview some photogs and I wanted to show him the creative artists that many Bee’s have employed for their photography) were very impressed at the graphic overlays. Can’t wait to see more!
