We decided to do a “first look” for a couple of reasons - mainly, to allow extra time for fun pictures. 
Also, since we were together all morning, we’d already cursed ourselves by seeing each other before the ceremony. Oops! It’s a good thing we don’t believe in stuff like that!
The first look gave us time to be giddy about getting ready to walk down the aisle & to also calm each other. We also got to relive prom when I pinned on his boutonniere (successfully, might I add?).
One last kiss from my girls & I was on my way to meet Mr. Q at the end of the pier!
Remember when I said my veil was like a sail? This is what I was talking about.
Sooo happy! 
Then it was time to pin on Mr. Q’s bout. It was around this time that my veil started winding up, readying itself for the attack…
Oh, how I wish my veil was blowing lightly in the breeze in these pictures!
Apparently the weather man didn’t get my memo stating that I would be wearing a long as* veil & to keep the wind down! Because all of a sudden…
… ATTACK!
But in the end, it was worth it because we were able to get amazing shots like this…
…and this.
After we sauntered off the pier, we headed around the grounds of Coyaba for a fun photo shoot - coming up next!
Did you do a first look? Why or why not?

Share this post: Ya Mon! Our First Look…& The Attack of the Veil!
What beautiful pics! At this point, I’m *pretty* sure we’ll be doing a first look.
That picture is hilarious!!!! Your veil was so beautiful, I’m glad it behaved for the other shots. 
Haha! You still looked great- tangled veil or not. Didn’t it hurt when the wind was pulling at your veil?
Also, I’d like to say that I was very surprised when I read your age, you look so fresh, I thought you were maybe 32 max!
Your veil is both out of control and wonderful! I love that it “attacked” you!
awesome pics Mrs. Quiche! i love how happy you both look… definitely make me want to consider doing a first look! thanks for sharing. can’t wait to see the rest of your recaps.
Beautiful… wow! I love that it attacked you… hehe
I love the fun quirky moments
Haha! The attack pictures are cute — and the last few are absolutely amazing!
GORG! I love the pic of you two sitting in the chairs on the pier
I love your veil and those shots are so stunning with it flying around like that!
beautiful!!!!! the colors of the sky & water against your white dress/his light suit are amazing!!!!!!!
I hope we get some shots as amazing as yours if we do a first look!
Oh fun! I love how it attacked you! Silly veil. I wish we’d done a first look! I think we’d have gotten a lot more intimate, not rushed pictures. Ours turned out pretty but posed and kind of typical in that photojournalistic way
Wow — the color of that water is just amazing. I love that the veil had a mind all of its own!
All your pics are SO gorgeous!
And I’m still in awe that your veil stayed in
love the “attack” photo - i just burst out laughin in the office. you both look so relaxed and happy
that was such a sweet first look
you look like a magazine model, as always
I was going to say that any “attack” was probably worth it…even before getting to the final shots. Those are GORGEOUS, Q! You already know that you look like a model, right? So I won’t even mention it.
You look stunning in that dress! I’ve been a fan of fashionbride for a while now. It’s the best place to see all of the designers that you don’t hear about very often!
oops! sorry, that comment above was meant for mrs. glitter.. I somehow clicked on the wrong comments link! Your veil pics are amazing though =) I think they were totally worth the attack!
Laughed out loud while reading about attack of the veil!
I can’t stop giggling about the veil attack! Hehe. Too funny!
So the attack is pretty funny, but seriously the rest of those pictures are stunning! You are a beautiful bride Mrs. Q
Awwwe so adorable and genuine! I love that about first looks. I don’t think I will do one, I’m pretty tradtional as is my FH but I love yours
also, I agree with the other bees, I laughed out loud!
ooohhh…nice pics! love the purpleness of your bouquet and blueness of the water…..you looked gorgeous as usual and you both looked soooooo happy! we’ll definitely be doing a first look.
i have to say - that picture of you two in the chairs is so fab!
Thanks everyone!
Honestly, the comb on my veil was so tight…there was no way that thing was going to budge without taking my entire bun with it I must have strong hair…heehee!
How hilarious - I love how you told this story. The shot of two in the chairs is my fave!
Your pics are great! I think the tangled veil gives your pictures much more character than if it was *only* beautifully flowing behind you! What a special moment!
(and, no, we will not be doing a first look! I want to wait!)
I had a couple veil attack episodes too! I hope our pictures turn out as lovely as yours did!
Hahaha! I love the one where your veil is winding up preparing for its attack! But my favorite is the last picture, of course. You look so chic and elegant!!
I love your pictures! They are so beautiful! We are planning to wait.
You are beautiful! I especially like the last picture!!
I got goosebumps….that last picture is perfection! Can’t wait for more recaps!!
You are gorgeous!!! I love how vivid the colors are- what a great decision to take pics on the pier!
LOVE these wild veil shots
And your first look is adorable…I’m starting to lean toward doing one, we’ll see…
I love how the water looks so green, it makes for such great shots!
The “attack of the veil” is hilarious. You look beautiful in the photos. I love the white of your dress with the blue/green of the water as a background. Stunning.
wow. I wish I had a fantastic backdrop like that to take photos in front of. I don’t think I’d pay much attentio nto the veil attack if I had that water to distract me… or that man
Those are great! I know what you mean about attacking veils. Mine was only elbow length but the wind was so crazy during our pictures that it was attacking me and my husband at times.
So wonderful! Now I am certain that my FI and I should do a “first look”. Your photographer was able to capture such an important moment without anything getting in the way.
What fun memories, all from a veil! The pictures are great.
How many brides can say their veil attacked them? Too funny. I absolutely love the shot with you two in the chairs. Definitely worth the attack.
I am drooling!!! So gorgeous! I want to get married at the beach!!!!
I love the colors in your photos! Beautiful, and now I see what my photographer was wanting when he was telling me to “work the veil”
Sigh…you guys looked just fabulous, and the veil attack is hysterical! I love the pick of you walking toward the pier, and you can see the blurry figure of him in the background, waiting for you…chokes me up!
I love your crazy-veil shots! You guys look so happy and smiley. So cute.
