Wedding Photos: Bride and Groom Portraits

When we last left off, you had just seen the beautiful BFFs and I rocking our gorgeous robes and me finally getting into my wedding dress.

At this point, we were running a solid half-hour behind - even though I had built in plenty of cushion.  To say I was feeling frazzled was an understatement.  Because frazzled is pretty much my natural state of being.

After a couple of pics with my gorgeous maids, I realized that everybody needed to get dressed - and they had makeup that needed to be applied.

Best of all... I had a groom that had been patiently waiting in front of my friend's gorgeous home watching a game of tag football with a group of his former students from student teaching.  Small world.

After we gave the poor man a solid thirty minutes of waiting... our (husband and wife duo) photographers, CarisDesign, decided to snap a few individual snaps of each of us before the big reveal.  Eeeek!

My patient handsome groom looks so nervous in these photos, to me at least.

Meanwhile, I was chilling in my friends' library.  Ahh, to have friends with libraries.

Love how I'm so proper and straight-backed and goofy in my dress.  I clearly wasn't used to it yet!  

 Damn I loved those flowers.  So much.

Note to self:  No lashes are too big for your wedding day.  Could've gone bigger!

Absolutely love the card I picked out on Etsy.  Wish I could have sneak-ed and seen his face while he opened it.

Cufflinks for my groom.  (Also personalized on Etsy).  I'm thinking I must have gotten the charm with my mom's picture on it there, too.  I just really can't remember or find a good record of it. 

Aaand then.... it was time for the First Look!

Can't wait to share even more!
