Immediately after the ceremony, we headed outdoors to catch the remaining sunlight for photos. Luckily, daylight savings time began the week before our wedding, so we had a little extra time to spend outside before it started to get dark. The manager of the art gallery thought I was insane when I told her we were going to take photos in the alley behind the gallery, but I absolutely love how they turned out. The combination of the urban setting with the formal clothing was just what I was looking for.

It wasn’t all serious, though. We managed to goof around in regular Hippo fashion during the first few minutes of married life. If we can manage to keep each other laughing, life will be good.

We were then joined by our bridesmaids and groomsmen for what might be one of my absolute favorite pictures from the wedding.

This photo is now my computer wallpaper. I love seeing my favorite people when my computer starts up!

With all of our outdoor photos taken, we headed back inside to take traditional photos with our families. We were a few minutes ahead of schedule, so we stayed behind with our photographers for a few minutes to get a couple of additional photos in the art gallery.

With all the photos taken, we hopped the shuttle and headed to the reception. With all the formal stuff behind us, it was time to celebrate!
