ladyciel,

The pictures are gorgeous! How wonderful!

And, there''s something I''ve been meaning to tell you for so long now...but as I posted before, I was feeling very sad after my wedding came and went

and I am just starting to come out of it...anyway...I used your suggestion for my song to walk down the aisle...Romanze...what a beautiful song. I didn''t actually hear it the day of (I was completely OBLIVIOUS to everything - I didn''t even see the flowers hanging on the chairs, nothing! All I saw was FI

- I kept asking him later, "really, the flowers were there? haha) So thank you for that wonderful suggestion - and make sure to take a break from looking at your FI to let your ears take in the song...such a beautiful song.

[ladyciel]

Thanks so much everyone! We can''t wait to see the rest of them.

I should give our photographer proper credit for these, shouldn''t I? Our WONDERFUL photographer is Dionne Haglund, of Rochester Hills, MI, who calls her studio The Shooting Gallery. She has so much enthusiasm and such an adventurous spirit - both of which feed into her artistic eye and ability to spot a great photo op. All the photos where I''m in the dress were taken at a location by some railroad tracks she spotted on her drive into town to meet with us. They didn''t make it to the blog (I hope some turned out), but our first set of photos were taken with us walking and sitting on the tracks. All that overgrown greenery behind us under the bridge in the first photo? Yeah, she was climbing around in there hoping she could find a safe way to get the two of us in there for some shots. She thankfully changed her mind, and instead we ended up balancing on the narrow ledge of the concrete against the rusty girders.

Mandarine: Awww, thank you! That means so much to me after seeing you and your handsome hubby together in your wedding photos!
gwendolyn: Thank you! I''ll admit the shoes were my favorite part of BOTH outfits.

robbie: Photographer was the most important vendor to us, and we got so lucky getting her. It only happened because another couple had to cancel our date the same day we contacted her. I cannot wait to see what she does with our wedding photos.
IndyGirl22: Thank you! I bought the dress specifically for the photos. FI was with me and MADE me try it on. I''d been hunting for something a little brighter/more summery and wasn''t going to give it a chance at first. Of course, then we had to find FI a shirt to match. It''s embarrassing to admit just how much shopping we did for those matching outfits...
karasue91: I love that car one, too! When we first got set up for those shots, there was tons of traffic. Dionne was super psyched to get some blurred cars behind us, but the second we were ready the cars just magically disappeared. Thankfully she caught one of the very few that went by!
Bia: I think the vibrant colors could be considered a trademark of our photog. She loves her some color saturation! (So do we

)
Deelight: Thank you! I''m glad so many of you like my shoes.

SarahLovesJS: Aww, thanks sweetie!
bensbride: I definitely have to pass your kudos to FI on finding the dress, and he''s a strong supporter of shoe love, too. I found the perfect man.

cellososweet: Haha, you crack me up! I looked at that photo and said "where did my arse go??". I''m definitely on the more bootilicious side. Those jeans? My curvy fit Levi''s. The regular fits just won''t play nice with my tush and hips. Perhaps Dionne''s camera magically subtracts 5lbs?

cladinam: I hope you''re starting to feel better!! I''m so afraid I''m going to go through the same thing you have, missing the planning and wedding. My FI and MOH have both said they fear I''ll go through withdrawal, because it seems like I ALWAYS have something wedding related floating around my head (it''s true). I''m so flattered you chose Romanze, though! I''m glad I could help! I will definitely make a point of listening, and if all else fails I''ll have to ask our guitarist for a reprise during dinner.

Morgie44: Thanks, Morgie! I have a slight love affair with those red shoes. Too bad they don''t go with everything in my closet.
Cass: Thank you! All of you are just too sweet.
Rachie: I was waiting for you to see these! Figures you beat me to the punch, hehe. I saw the first set of her updates go up, and I had a feeling ours might be up before the night was over, but FI made me go to bed. Where are you going for yours?? We told her Ann Arbor and had no clue what to expect. She pulls up to meet us, and the first thing after greetings out of her mouth was "so how do you guys feel about railroad tracks?". She''s too fun(ny)!
Keepingthefaith21: Thank you! Love your kitty, btw. I hate being allergic.

 

[allycat0303]

I love those shots. You look non-nonsense amazing in those red shoes. Love it! And the ''''attitude poses'''' are terrific.

 

[Fancy605]

WOW! They are SO edgy and romantic at the same time. I LOVE them! These are the first e-pics I''ve seen that make me sort of wish DH and I had had E-pics. Kudos to your photographer and of course to the 2 of you for being so photo-worthy.

 

[ladyciel]

Haha, thanks allycat! You wouldn''t believe how much trouble we had looking serious. We''re both camera shy and quick to laugh, so Dionne telling us to look serious and dramatic just sent us into giggles and difficult to smother smiles. That didn''t stop her from asking, though! As she put it, she''s a "drama queen". "Think magazine - intensity- you can do it, promise." Fancy, neither of us are typically photogenic, so it cracks me up for you to refer to us as "photo-worthy". Thank you! I know our photographer has done post-wedding "e-pics" for her couples who missed out before the wedding. Maybe you could surprise your hubby with a special photo shoot?

 

[Fancy605]

lol....Oh I don''t think that a photo shoot would be a very pleasant surprise for him. He''d probably prefer to skip stuff like that (although I do have a photography major friend who would prob. do it)

It''s funny that you say you aren''t photogenic. What a difference a photographer who makes you comfortable can be, right?

 

[brandy_z28]

WOW! WOW! WOW! Those are amazing! I loved them all! Truly amazing! You, your dress, shoes, and FI all picture perfect!

 

[Skippy123]

Great pictures, you two cuties are adorable!!

 

[FrekeChild]

I

your shoe shot. I have to steal that mmk?

...Mental note to self: have awesome shoe shots taken for e-pics and w-pics....

Seriously. What amazing photos. I''m SO excited to see your wedding pics. These are gorgeous!!!! (Think she''d come to NM?)

And...I don''t have a really fabulous pair of red heels (who knew Freke was an anti-red shoe person?!) even though I''ve been looking for months now, so I''m totally jealous of your fantastic red heels.

...must go scour shoe websites now...

 

[mimzy]

ladyc those are awesome!!! you guys look great

i think dionne was a good choice!

 

[april diamonds]

Wow those are awesome! I love your dress! Where did you get it?

 

[Kim N]

Wow, these photos are gorgeous! You and your FI are so photogenic! I love your shoes too!

 

[ladyciel]

Oh my goodness are you right, Fancy! I''m so happy Dionne was able to make us feel comfortable. I don''t know if I''ll be able to completely forget the camera is there on wedding day, but I certainly won''t care like I usually would.

Thanks Brandy and Skippy!

Freke, I was wondering when you''d get in here and see my shoes! The fantastic red ones are Bandolinos I got at DSW. They''re my first pair of red shoes, too. Dionne is a total shoe nut, so just tell her you''ll have great kicks and I''m sure you could get her to NM.

She was sooooo freaking excited when we stumbled across that purple pump painted on the door in the alley. She was really quick to figure out a way to get my shoes in the same shot. Then she had me hike up pant legs up so you could see my shoes better. Gotta love the priorities!

Thanks Mimzy! We are 110% happy with our choice.

April Diamonds, I got my dress at a little boutique in town called Poshh, but I was able to find it on the Neiman Marcus website for you. Ella Moss dress

Thanks, Kim! I don''t know how photogenic we actually are (our photog probably snapped at least 300 shots - we don''t know yet how many came out), but I''m so flattered you guys think we are in these photos!

 

[Dreamgirl]

Awwwwww so sweet!! I love your photos! You two are so cute together.
