Fatafelice''s Pro Pics (finally!)

[fatafelice]

The wedding pictures thread in Hangout the other day reminded me that I never actually posted my professional pictures from the vow renewal! DH and I ended up buying the digital files, but I hadn''t had a chance to sort through everything and resize, etc. Well, I have thrown a few together (um...like 70

), so here they are!

For those needing background, here are some threads with the rest of my story:

Wedding cancelation story

Last-minute beach wedding decision

Pictures from beach wedding

Some non-pro renewal pics

Uh-oh. My resizing was apparently off. Give me a few minutes!

 

[fatafelice]

*TEST*

Edit: Good, that one worked! Now I just need to fix the rest.

BTW, this is me getting my hair done, obviously.

Refresh, refresh, refresh....Can''t wait to see them fatafelice.

F5! F5! HURRY!!!!!!!

 

[FrekeChild]

I''ve been waiting since I joined to see these! Yay!!!!!!

Sorry for the delay!

Here are some more getting-ready pics, including the gorgeous view from our upgraded suite at the Inn on Biltmore Estate!

Here is one of the jewelry pieces I made for my girls. This one is a bracelet, but I also made some earrings and necklaces. Unfortunately, I finished everything last minute, so I didn''t get pictures of all of it.

I love your dress! It is so hard to find dresses with sleeves and I eventually gave up on that.

 

[fatafelice]

Sisters

 

[FrekeChild]

Wow. I just ADORE your dress. I think I read the threads when you talked about it. It came out beautifully!!!!

I am not going to post all of the great guest shots that my photographer took, but I have to post this one because it is of a fellow PSer and her hubby! DH had never met them before (neither had I for that matter!), so I told him to be on the lookout for "the really attractive couple."

 

[fatafelice]

In order to not be seen by guests, I had to get to the ceremony location really early and hide behind some rented screens...with no air conditioning. In retrospect, I should have just let people see me!

I love this picture of DH pre-ceremony
