Taking photos by ourselves was fun, but I loved taking our portraits together. It was one of the best parts of the day! Luckily we’d already gotten some practice in with our engagement session, so we were much more comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. And we had an easier time with posing because we’d done it before.
Here are some of the more formal ones we took: outside the mansion, jacket on.
Our best impersonation of a serious couple.
This one’s more us, squinty eyes and all.
This one doesn’t really fit into a neat category, but I love it so.
This next one was actually one of the first photos we took. The gnome was randomly sitting in the hallway outside the bridal suite. I believe the Dude saw it and made some joke about it, and our photographer was like, “Let’s take a picture with it!” I love how faux serious we are.
Then it was time for some more casual shots with the Dude’s jacket off. I love this candid one of me helping to refasten the button on his sleeve.
I still find it funny that we got these shots in front of the little chapel on the Barr Mansion grounds, considering that we are both nonreligious and our ceremony was completely secular! I love the way the chapel doors photographed.
Check out the Dude’s sexy expression here! I’m used to seeing him act so goofy all the time, so I’m really glad I have photos like this one.
We look so happy and relaxed here, and as far as I can remember, that’s how I felt. I know the Dude was relaxed. (He doesn’t really have any other state of being—he is the Dude, after all.)
This next one is hands-down my favorite shot of the day. I used it on the Moo cards that we sent with our Thank Yous to remind people to add their photos to our Flickr page.
I have a few more favorite portraits of the two of us to share with you guys, but I’d better save them for another post!
All photos by the Nichols.
Previously, on Our Rainy-Day Wedding:
the love and affection between you two is palpable–these are so, so sweet.
what gorgeous pictures! you two look amazing and there is such a romantic feel about many of those.
The Dude loves you so, so much… I love how it shows in these pictures how in love you are! So cute!
The first and last ones are my favorite. Both look like they could be on the cover of an indie wedding mag.
These portraits are awesome! And the one with the gnome is really cute!
I just wanted to take a minute and say how much I LOVE the Dude’s hair. Curly haired boys rock!
These photos are incredible!!!! I love them all but I agree with you on your favorite, so sweet!
Great pictures - you two make such a cute couple. And you look so in love, I love that in wedding pictures.
I LOVE your bouquet!!!! Will you do a post to feature your flowers so I can see them close-up???
I love the fourth one, your smile is so contagious! And that gnome is hilarious 
These pictures are just so gorgeous…I would have such a hard time narrowing down the options…I’d want prints of everything!
You both look so wonderful in every.single.photo! And I love the gnome - it’s such a silly thing and seems to fit so well with your super silly personality!
You two look so great together! I really like how your personalities are coming through in each shot.
These are so beautiful, Mouse! I just love the easy, peaceful feeling of the squinty-eyed smile shot. Sigh.
Oh Mouse, I love ALL of these pictures! I really love the framing with the chapel doors - what an incredible shot!
@Miss Cashmere: I’ll have to look through my photos to see if I have any close ups of the bouquet. I probably do. I will probably do a details post towards the end of my recaps, so look for some sweet bouquet shots there!
These photos are so sweet!!!! You two look so happy and excited. 
Love it.

I was born and raised in a small East Texas town, but I'm no country girl! I'm obsessed with British accents, fantasy (including Harry Potter, of course), and classic rock. My fiance and I consider ourselves both music and beer snobs--but every once in awhile we love to hear a crappy band and drink a cheap brew or two. We're planning an eco-friendly, casual, English garden affair for the end of summer, and we can't wait for it to get here!
