Wooohooo!!! E-pics!

[flopkins]

Ok, we beat even Selflove on this one, we are now less than a month til the wedding and we finally took our e-pics!

I insisted on oustide pics even though it was freezing that day and actually rained for a bit when we were out on the pier.... but I am SO happy w/the photos!!! Our photographer is awesome!!!

I am under strict orders from FI to not show any close up pics... sigh... so you only get the far away pics...

and last one, but in red...

 

[flopkins]

And that's all I can show you!

I was absolutly FREEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZING that day!!! It must have been at MOST 50 F... and we were out on a pier... w/the wind... OMG.... in some of the pics at the end you can see my poor nose is all red! The photog kept having me put my jacket on when he was setting up the shots, and I would take it off *right* before the pic... hehe... but thankfully in the far away shots you can't tell...



but I absolutely love the pics and it was so worth it!!!

Ah, what you do for love... or, nice pics...

 

[dani13]

WOW- they are gorgeous!! Where were they taken???
Would have loved to see a few close-ups- but I understand!!

 

[flopkins]

Dani-
thanks!!
They were taken on one of the Embarcadero piers in SF... near the Bay Bridge... right near the Waterfront Restaurant. Luckily it was pretty dead out there that day too... prob because we were the only crazy ones out there!

 

[gingerBcookie]

so pretty! love the skyline one!

 

[marvel]

Great pictures!! Is that the Transamerica building in the skyline?

 

[akw94]

Those are great pics! The background is so pretty. I''m sure the rest are even better!

 

[flopkins]

Thanks ginger, marvel and amy!!

marvel - yes that is the transamerica building!

 

[researcher]

I LOVE those shots! Looks like it was well worth the suffering to have such great photos

 

[Tybee]

They are totally gorgeous!
What amazing pictures! You SHOULD be glad you did it outside, that sky is amazing!!!!

 

[flopkins]

thanks for the compliments researcher and tybee! the SF skyline is definitely a pretty one.. although I have to say our photographer is the one who made it look amazing! I am SO glad we did outside pics - I hate studio shots, they always remind me of class photos for grade school... and really, looking at the pics, you can NOT recreate the look indoors at all!!!

I was checking my email ENDLESSLY last Friday (when the assistant said she''d email me the proofs) waiting for the pics... hehe.

researcher- I like your new avatar...

 

[icekid]

Your photographer definitely did a good job, but she doesn''t have anything to do with how cute you and your SO look together! I love how comfortable you two seem to feel in the photos. The skyline is gorgeous, but it''s your body language with one another that makes the photos special.

Thanks for the compliment on my new avatar! Irina deserves the credit for it!

flopkins

beautiful pictures !!! oh....you''re too young to be my grandma.

 

[CourtHorn]

I love those pics! Your photographer did a great job!

 

[flopkins]

icekid & courthorn- thanks!!

thanks again researcher! FI and I actually know our photographer personally, so I think that helps!

Dancing Fire - well sorry to disappoint again, perhaps in about 30 years... I will be a true grandma!

 

[Dancing Fire]

hey grandma

is your wedding going to be old chinese traditional style?

 

[MissCongeniality]

who did your pics? they are beautiful!

(used to live in San Francisco - such a romantic city)

 

[flopkins]

Dancing Fire- actually our wedding is very much American style - we tried to do the traditional chinese banquet but couldn''t find a location we liked that could accomodate our party... although we are having a second reception that is chinese banquet...

MissCongeniality - our photographer is Hanson Fong. He does a lot of lecturing and teaching out of town, so sometimes it''s hard to catch him, but he''s great... he takes wonderful pics of babies and their moms - when I have my first child I want to go back and have him take photos!!! (FI thinks I''m crazy but ah well)

 

[CareBear]

Very nice! Pics on cloudy days turn out the best! Weren''t you cold though? You weren''t wearing a lot and embarcadero is COLD!

 

[sevens one]

love the pics

 

[flopkins]

thanks CareBear and sevens one!!!

yes I was cold.. very, very cold...

 

[selflove]

I wanna see more!!!! What a great backdrop and you guys look so cute and in-love. But I am chilly just looking at your bare arms!

 

[E B]

Oh, Flopkins, they''re gorgeous! Though I can''t see much, what I can see is how talented a photographer you have. Do we get to see closeups anytime soon?

 

[flopkins]

thanks selflove and EBree!

believe me I was so excited to get the pics and I was so happy with them, I wanted to post all the pics right away for you gals, but FI says no close-ups on PS, sigh... I don''t know, if you really want to find me online, you can, so I don''t really see the point but oh well.
