I LOVE my photographer! (aka Anchor''s pro wedding pics!)

[anchor31]

Our pro pics are in, and they are FANTASTIC! We were truly blessed, because in addition of the free HD CD of all our pics I bargained for when we signed our contract, he gave us a free DVD with a slideshow AND he took 479 pictures when the contract says 250-300 pics!!!

Well, I don’t know how many pics I’m allowed to post in one thread, but about only 79 pictures out of the 479 are not sheer perfection, so I’m having a hard time choosing which ones to post. I’ll post these, and if you want more I have more!

To start, a cute pic of my two ladies.

Showing off the dress!

My sister helping me put on my dress… It was a great sister moment.

Peeking through the door…

Daddy seeing me for the first time. At the time, I didn’t notice he was crying! My poor dad… The FIL said yesterday as we were looking through the pics that my dad hadn’t talked/smiled/danced much, but my dad is a big softie and I think he was just trying to hide how overwhelmed he was for my sake.

Mommy helping me with my necklace.

That shot took my breath away! When DH saw it, he said “That’s my wife!”.

Stepping out of my childhood home as a single woman for the last time.

 

[anchor31]

I was running a little late, and J was waiting impatiently inside the church…

 

[anchor31]

I was impatient to get inside!

 

[anchor31]

Going down the aisle and trying not to cry…

Great picture, very spiritual.

The unity candle ceremony. The priest wasn’t very good, unfortunately, he pretty much took control of our ceremony and wasn’t very open-minded as to what we wanted it to be. I asked for the unity candle ceremony and explained what it was and how I wanted it, and he did something completely different. I even lost patience with him at the rehearsal about it and thought we’d reached an understanding, but he ended up doing it his way, which was lighting our baptism candles and just handing them to us. After sharing a wink with my mom, I just went with the flow and snuggled with my almost-hubby while the priestzilla did his thing.

The vows.

The ring exchange.

 

[anchor31]

The kiss. I’ve heard some people say it was the best kiss of their lives and I was a bit skeptical, but to tell the truth, it really was the best kiss of my life so far.

Receiving the blessing.

 

[anchor31]

Signing the legal papers.

 

[anchor31]

Going back up the aisle as a married couple! We were so happy and proud.

 

[anchor31]

Neat shot in front of the church… We’re married!

Cooler version of the formal family shot on the church steps.

 

[anchor31]

Let’s go party!

 

[anchor31]

Taking formal portraits on the grounds of the reception hall. We’re not the only ones who got to do some kissing…

Beautiful picture with my amazing and gorgeous grandma.

Chilling with the wedding party.

DH goofing around with the guys, wearing my brother’s Navy cap.

 

[anchor31]

Me with the girls.

 

[anchor31]

This one was so funny! The two girls had only met the guys once at the rehearsal (and are in relationships with other men) and the photographer asked them to kiss the on the cheek… We were laughing so hard!
