Just when you thought you got rid of me after I finished my recap last week, here I am posting again! 
But it is for good reason–I have more photos to share!
Back in November during Thanksgiving weekend, Mr. Toucan and I had another photo session with our wedding photographer, Robert Mirani. We squeezed into our wedding attire (though it might not have been the best idea right after 2 Thanksgiving dinners!), and took a “self-guided tour” around the Wellesley College Student Center.
The building is simply stunning! We took photos in large open auditoriums:
Used the colorful yellow walls for backdrops:
Chilled on big red comfy couches:
Sat in the middle of stairwells:
Stood in the middle of darkly lit corridors:
Leaned against these super cool lighted lockers (my favorite backdrop!):
And even braved the sub-30 degree weather outside!
Mr. Toucan and I are ecstatic that we have wonderful pictures of the two of us from not one, but TWO post-wedding sessions (the other with Rachel Hadiashar). We are especially grateful to have these photos because our day was so jam-packed with activity, so we didn’t have too many portraits of two of us in our traditional bridal attire.
Do you plan on having a post-wedding session?

Wow, Mrs. Toucan your pictures are stunning! Those lighted locker shots are so awesome!
I love the hair piece you are wearing! Where did you get it from?
Wow…those are some nice pictures. I’m gonna steal your idea and let’s hope my photographer can re-produce
I was not planning on doing a post wedding recap but the more I read about it I really think that we should. I was thinking of having the feel of it be really low key my hair down with a few curls and a hair comb.
thanks, everyone!
@kristenrn: Thanks! I actually made the hair piece myself! It was super easy… perhaps a tutorial is in order!
you. are. GORGEOUS! Can I borrow your dimples for, like, an afternoon??
Those lockers are amazing. You’re lucky to be so photogenic and have such fantastic pictures!
great photos. i especially like the ones by the lockers of light. such a good backdrop.
What a cool idea to do it at the school! They came out great! I wasn’t thinking of doign a post wedding session, but now I think it may be a good idea!
the lighted lockers are such a fun background! gorgeous pictures!
I agree - the lighted locker background is magical looking.
very clever venue! i love the shots!
congrats again, you guys are a beautiful couple!
Gorgeous idea to have more done, resulting in gorgeous shots!
Beautiful!! And yes, pleeeeease post a tutorial about your hair flower, I just searched through all your previous posts to see if you ever mentioned where you got it 
Very pretty!!
@LisaG: Sorry, you went looking for it! I never posted about it because I made it on a whim right before the shoot! I’ll scrounge up some supplies and recreate one for you all.
@msTerp: nope! just a trespasser! (hehe, jk! we had permission from the school)
I thought about it. I saw a couple taking pictures this fall at one of the memorials in DC. I thought it was their wedding day but, then I saw the bride in sneakers. She seemed to be very relaxed and in no rush. It actually might be a good idea because our wedding is at night…
What a cute idea to have a “post-wedding” shoot!! I love how creative you all were with the backgrounds and poses!!!
gorgeous photos! those lockers make such a fun and funky background…love them!
Hi Mrs. Toucan - I used the same photographer for my wedding last summer, but haven’t received the album yet, and he won’t return my emails or phone calls. Have you been able to get all your photos? Any advice? Thank you!
What a magnificent venue! The lockers are my fave too - so cool.
That’s such a great idea to have a post wedding session- and they turned out gorgeous
Ah! my school! These pictures are great. I’m surprised you guys didn’t take more shots in the other buildings and around campus. It’s such an awesome location.
i’d have no wallspace left at home if i were you. how would you choose what to put up, they’re all freaking gorgeous!
Not to be creepy here but… were you and your husband having dinner at Taranta last night??
these pictures are stunning!! i love the dramatic ones! MAH-velous!
