Sneak Peek: Our Magical Moment

Sneak Peek: Our Magical Moment

June 10th, 2009 @ 6:36 pm by Mrs. Meatball

For days on end, I’ve compulsively checked our photographer’s website for teasers… quivering in eager anticipation.

Today, I got what I wanted, and oh man - it’s so much better than I ever dreamed.

Picture-21

Picture-22

… and I wanted to be sure to give extra huge major mad props to my girl Ten Thousand Only, for first introducing us to Dan’s work. Congrats on your wedding, sista!

I don’t think I have ever seen emotions genuinely portrayed as well as you and you husband did on your wedding day. Your photographer did a great job capturing it. I can tell you will have a lifetime of happiness!

I’m usually just a lurker, but your wedding photos were so beautiful I had to comment and tell you so! I love the techniques the photographer used and it really helped to lend to your very unique wedding theme. Your photographer also captured the essence of each moment, showing the adoration and joy in each photo. You are a beautiful couple and I wish the best!!!
