Around here formal bridals aren''t really done.. All we get is head shots for the newspaper.. but my photographer took a ton of pictures.. and he sent me one about an hour after the photo shoot. :) He''s going to be sending me out the CD so I should have it maybe even tomorrow..
but I REALLY love the way it came out. I got my hair trial done and while I wasn''t THRILLED with it (the curls didn''t hold AT ALL) it looked nice for the picture. My sister and I did my make up ourselves.

MelissaSue-

You look wonderful- what a beautiful bride

! Your hair looks very nice, IMO- I''m a fan of less-is-more with bridal hair and makeup.

That will make such a great announcement photo, all the girls you went to HS with will be so jealous

(can you tell my 20th HS reunion is coming up, I''ve got HS on the brain!)
 
You look so beautiful and happy!! It''ll make a very stunning announcement!
 
Melissa - that''s one gorgeous photograph. You look beautiful!!!
Hopefully the rest of the pictures turn out as well - then which one will you choose???
 
That''s a great photograph, Melissasue, you look beautiful!
 
That photo is beautiful. Please show us more once you get your cd
 
MS, you look just gorgeous! I love the hair & makeup too. You''re going to be such a beautiful bride!

melissa:

i love the picture. you look beautiful!

my hair never holds curls either, however, last summer, i was in a wedding and we got our hair done. the hair stylist asked me what products i use -- i said none and that i don''t love hairspray. well, he completely ignored my non-hairspray preference and literally put about a half bottle of hairspray in my hair. i hated it at first, but i have to say, the curls did hold. so maybe there is a good product out there that will give you some lasting curls.

do you have any full length shots so we can get a look at your gorgeous dress?
 
It looks great. I like looser curls. I think it is a more sexy look.


All these bridal protraits are making me sad I am not getting them done...oh well.
 
Very nice!

you look so good! what a great picture! I cant wait to see the rest of them, i''m sure they all came out great. I want pictures taken of me in my dress..... too bad its not here yet.
 
Beautiful! You look sooooooooo pretty!

Okay, I have to ask, are the chicken cutlets in????? I''m sorry, I just had to ask, I hope that''s not offensive!
 
Oh MS, you look soooooo beautiful!!!
 
Me too Tacori!!

You look beautiful MelissaSue!
 
MS, you look fantastic!!!! yaaaaaay for you! :) And I actually love your hair like that...I agree, looser curls are so pretty! You are going to be a beauuuuutiful bride. :)
 
You must be thrilled MelissaSue! You picture looks lovely. I literally gasped when I saw it.
I also agree with the others, I think the loose curls look really lovely. I was thinking about
something similar for my own hair, so I''m biased.
Looking at these lovely bridal portraits makes me a little sad that I''m not doing one, we''ve not
done engagement pics either.

Yep.. those are the chicken cutlets! I LOOOVE em! And I think the added bustieness helps to define my not-so defined waist in the dress as well.

Thanks all for all the lovely comments. I can''t wait to see the rest of the pictures.. I really did feel beautiful.. and when I saw the picture I couldn''t believe how pretty I actually looked!

I don''t have any pics that are full length.. like I said.. nobody does full on bridal portraits around here.. I think if I suggesting getting pretty full photo shoots like some of you lucky girls get to do people would look at me like I should be committed to the mental institution. My mom took a few pics.. but I don''t think any of them came out very well.. I ll look at them again to see if there is anything wroth posting.

Thanks again ladies!
 
you look gorgeous!!!
 
you look sooo pretty, Melissa! Love the cutlets too.. I still need to pick up some of those

So I got my CD today... turns out.. that photo was retouched. :) I had sort of suspected it.. The part that is most obvious is the BAGS under my eyes and the little wrinkes around them he totally smoothed out.. That was the only picture he retouched and it was probably the best one to begin with.. but I''ll post a few non-retouched ones later.. But for now.. I have work to do..

The picture is lovely and I''m sure he barely touched it at all. Your a beautiful woman and I can''t wait to see more.
 
You look gorgeous! What a great picture.

P.S. Chicken cutlets? Tell me more!
 
MS you look SO beautiful!

I love this picture - it''s so classic. It reminds me of a picture that is passed down for generations :)
 
Melissa, you look beautiful! Love the black and white and I like you hair, even if the curls did fall out later

MelissaSue,

You look just lovely.
I love the fact that you don''t look like you have on tons of make-up.

Just out of curiosty, all bridal portraits just of the bride?
I''ve noticed that a few ladies here have their bridal pictures taken
and they only show the bride. I guess that''s why they called it "bridal" portrait.
 
You make a beautiful bride!
Great pic- thanks for sharing
 
Melissa, you look absolutely gorgeous! I can''t wait to see more of them!
