Once everyone was in place, I called out to Macs to see if he was ready. After a double thumbs up, I took a deep breath and told myself not to start crying before he’d even seen me.
I just love this photo of Macs. His best smiles are always when he’s caught off guard.
It took what seemed forever to get to him, walking slowly over the uneven grass making sure I didn’t lose my balance or accidentally step on my dress. Those heel caps? Yeah, they didn’t help. I originally planned on tapping him on the shoulder, but after stopping several times to fix my dress (I’m not sure why I didn’t just pick up the front) I told him to turn around. I’ll let the following pictures speak for themselves.
I’m so happy we had a first look. It allowed us to take most of the formal photos before the ceremony so there was no rushing around after or concern about pulling our wedding party away from the reception. Macs isn’t much of a crier, especially in front of people. It was nice to have a moment to ourselves and let all our emotions go.
After we dried our tears and Mr. Macs finally had the correct boutonniere, we had a few pictures taken of just the two of us.

Gorgeous photos! Love your flowers and the lace on the veil!
The pictures are adorable, so filled with emotion.
I love your first look pictures! I wish we would have done a first look. The picture of you on the swing is precious.
Love the picture on the swing! You guys look sooooo in love in these photos. It’s adorable!
I love first look photos so much!! You look so beautiful and so in love!
What a sweet first look, these pictures are just full of love!
I love, love, love these photos. They’re pretty and artsy but still very genuine and non-posey!
I had the same trouble walking around our outdoor venue in my dress. I didn’t realize it would be so tricky to walk in my dress and hadn’t practiced walking in it much, so I actually ended up holding the skirt up a bit for the walk down the uneven, flagstone aisle. At least I got to show off my pretty shoes! (And did not fall on my face…that part is important.)
You can really feel the emotions in your shots. So pretty!
The both of you look so happy and you dress is so gorgeous. I can’t wait to see the rest.
these are excellent!
and yes the heel caps are dumb! i wore them in a wedding in may and they were completely useless. i wonder if anyone has had a good experience with them…
Wow, I absolutely love these photos! They are just so beautiful and romantic photos and you both look so happy and in love!
