Clairitek''s Pro Pics Are Here!

[Clairitek]

A few weeks ago I gave you a sneak peek of my pro pics but now that I have the whole lot I''d like to share them.

Link to Sneak Peak Thread

No particular order. I''m going to apologize in advance for posting many many pictures.

Based on how I named the file I am going to guess this is the view of my veil, dress, and flowers from behind. I need to get better at file naming.

We got a round of applause from the folks sitting outside and eating. I can''t even tell you how many times I''ve walked down that wharf. I used to work on the same wharf back in college. I''m pretty sure my photographer walked into about 4 people while taking our pics and walking backwards.

I just have to say that I loooove how all of your bridesmaids are wearing different dresses in different shades of blue. Totally cool.

Ok, back to picture posting.

This is one of my favorite shots. We were walking in a park in front of the church where Jackie O and JFK got married- St Mary''s Church in Newport, RI.

Claire they''re GORGEOUS!!!

Our teeny tiny cake (top layer was 4", middle 6", bottom 8") and bridesmaids flowers. One of my BMs, a friend, and I all put together the bouquets during our raucous rehearsal dinner (I clearly didn''t take part in the debauchery). I love how they turned out for not a whole lot of money.

This sort of behavior is pretty typical of DH.

 

[Clairitek]

Ceremony

 

[Clairitek]

Cheesy grins. I think we were joking about our photographer falling into the water while taking our pictures.

 

[Clairitek]

Trying to be "sexy" or something.

 

[Clairitek]

Another running shot.

Our cheapie centerpieces. I got the glass thingies at the dollar store. The stones came from there too (used $2 worth of stones in all the CPs). The candles were less than a $1 each. I think the callas were $3 for the two.

ETA: Whoops! Wrong pic. This is me preparing the centerpieces (obviously) in my MOHs kitchen. Literally an hour before getting into the limo. That was the only stressful time during the whole day save for the moment I realized I had forgotten DH's wedding band.

 

[Bia]

I love them!

You looked absolutely beautiful Claritek...natural and glowing!

 

[Clairitek]

Carting the CPs out of the car to be delivered to the hotel. Yes, I have problems with delegating.

 

[Clairitek]

My father walking me down the aisle. We could hardly look at each other for fear of bursting out crying. I think this was the only moment we did before getting up the aisle.

 

[Clairitek]

One of my maids pinning on bouts while I hid in the limo.

 

[Clairitek]

Dad being prepared for the speech- notes and reading glasses!

 

[Clairitek]

Typical behavior from my father. My mother says all the time "You know you married your father!" DH and Dad have a good amount of fun together.

 

[Clairitek]

Formal portraits.

 

[Clairitek]

Preparing my emergency bag. The one that DIDN''T have rings in it.

Your pics are pretty awesome too! I am so jealous of your lovely freckles. I can''t wait to see your pro pics.


The obligatory dress hanging shot.

Why, thank you Bia! I am not sure how much of my glow was *me* or the photographer''s editing but I am happy with the way things turned out. The hairdresser put slightly darker foundation on me than I would have put on myself so I was nervous about not looking like me.



First nuptial kiss! Or maybe the second. Can''t tell. We had two.

 

[Clairitek]

The first look.

 

[Clairitek]

Another first look shot. I think I have one more of these somewhere.

 

[Clairitek]

Last first look shot. I think.

 

[dragonfly411]

Claritek - these are just beautiful!

 

[Clairitek]

Trying to figure out how I can gracefully get into a limo with a large dress on without totally destroying or wrinkling the dress.

 

[dragonfly411]

Claritek - these are just stunning. I love them!

 

[Clairitek]

Being cheesy in the coffee shop.
