Pro Pics!!

[AmberGretchen]

here's a little sampling

I've tried to group them in batches so its not too overwhelming. First, the getting ready pics: here's me and my MOH

Working on the hair:

The finished product:

The guys, clearly having a much less stressful time getting ready (yes, they are watching the world cup, LOL):

They started taking pictures before we did (don't they look handsome):

But finally my dress was all laced up and everything was in place and we were off in the limo as well:

 

[Tybee]

Oh so pretty! Oh so pretty! I''m a little jealous. Our photographer wasn''t there when we were getting ready, but she was supposed to be... booh!
Your hair was SO gorgeous!!
Keep em coming baby!

 

[AmberGretchen]

DH was a little bit sceptical at first about all that dress...

But he decided he liked it

We took lots of bridal party pics:

My handsome groom:

Some bridal portrait-type shots:

 

[AmberGretchen]

And some of the bride and groom together

 

[Tybee]

bouncing up and down jealous! GREAT PICS!

 

[AmberGretchen]

And ceremony pics:

first, our wonderful chuppah-holders (chuppah made by me and my mom, its a traditional Jewish wedding canopy). The poles were held by my three brothers and one of my favorite cousins.

Processional (ignore the look on mine and my mom''s faces - we''re trying not to cry...)

under the Chuppah:

Rings:

Vows:

Smashing the glass:

And The Kiss:

 

[AmberGretchen]

Post Ceremony Pics with just the bride and groom:

On a cable car (it is San Francisco, after all), and walking to the reception:

A couple of family portraits (DH''s family, my side of the family, me with all three of my brothers):

And with my two best friends since junior high - we have this exact same picture of us at age 15

[AmberGretchen]

Thank you so much you guys - I was worried I was going overboard with all the pictures, but I''m really glad that everyone liked them so much!

I really am very happy with them, I think we really lucked out with our photographers and that was really important to me.

 

[selflove]

Oh what a beautiful bride and handsome groom!!! THanks for sharing!!! You look so happy and radiant!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Hehe - selflove that''s so funny that you should say that. I was really happy a lot of the day, and these pictures that I posted here reflect that, but there were so many where I just looked anxious and worried, especially while I was getting ready!

[anchor31]

Amazing pics!! Beautiful bride, so much happiness!! And your hubby is a hottie!

Congrats!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Thanks so much you guys.

Yeah - I''m biased but I really think DH is handsome.

Although its really true - handsome is as handsome does, and he is sweet and loving and intelligent and respectful, and that means more to me than any way that he looks

(the looks are a nice side benefit though

)

 

[AmantdeChat]

Beautiful pictures! You definitely had a great photographer.

I hope our pics come out half as good! Congrats to a great looking couple!

 

[JCJD]
