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)!

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

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.

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!
