09.27.08 - The First Look

October 27th, 2008 @ 1:50 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea

Mr. H and I opted to see each other before the ceremony. The main reason for this was because our ceremony started so late (6:30 PM), was a full hour-long mass, and we would still be taking some family pics at the altar after the wedding. We wanted to get some good pics with each other and with our bridal party, so meeting before was our best option, and I’m so happy that we chose to do this because it eased a lot of nerves (especially Mr. H’s)!

All photos credit to Perez Photography :)

I got in one quick shot of myself before the wedding.

Mr. H was experiencing some nerves as he waited to see me for the first time that day. :)

The boys waited in the Social Room at The W for all of the girls.

The last of the bouts were pinned onto the boys’ tuxes.

The big grin on Mr. H’s face probably stems from the evil look on mine! :) Instead of just coming up to him to surprise him, I gave him a nice little tap on his rear to lighten the mood… and because it just looked so cute all dressed up!

I think Mr. H was a little confused as to why my engagement ring was on my right hand and not on my left!

First couple shot of the day—you can see how tense we were. All eyes were on us in such fancy attire. It took a few more pics, and a lot more jokes, to get us to be more natural in front of the camera.

Me and my girls—the blonde one is Mom H, my matron of honor, in case you can’t tell. :)

This is what our photographer, Caesar, got when he asked the boys to give their “bad ass” look.



Up next—we arrive at the church and the ceremony is about to begin!

The lighting and colors at the W is so sexy, what a great place to take pics… I just noticed that “curtain” is made out of horses and cows… funny!

I love the pic of you guys on the couch, even though you think you look tense. I want one of those couch thingies now.

You looked so beautiful… bee-u-tiful.

@missteaberry: If you check my first recap post, my bridesmaid actually commented with the brand and place to buy her dress :)

I think the shot of you smiling up at the camera on the stairs shows that you finally found a way to relax :) Did your arm just about fall off from dragging around that bouquet all day? It’s gawgeous dahling!

Hydrengeas!!! of course! How long did they last out of water?? I’ve heard they don’t last long and I was having some concerns about using them.
