Bridal Portraits Part 1

I have soooooo many beautiful pictures from M and my bridal session . . . I had to split it up into two parts. So these are us wondering around in fields, playing on farm equipment and just generally having fun together! I love these next two with M carrying my train.
Oh my pretty bouquet!
These field pics are also some of my favorites. Everything just looks so pretty.
Tractor pictures . . . ok the photographer and I were both corrected by M on this one . . . it is a Combine . . . I don't know what it does but it sure makes for some beautiful photos. Love.
Love, love.
Love, love, love. LOVE.
My Love.
Another one of my favorites!!!!
Ok . . . are they not super pretty? I am not crazy right, they are great? Ok . . . more tomorrow.

Our Meeting

I know I talked about how I hated the title "the First Look," but I am really not sure what else to call it . . . so here it goes the photo evidence of our "first look." And I think my action plan for the set up worked perfectly! M waiting with my beautiful bouquet!
This was a big wrap around porch, so there was some anticipation while walking around.
So Excited!!!
I love this one! It is just so sweet . . . plus the skirt just looks so pretty.
Oh kisses.

And Marshall checking me out. He said all the right things.

Ok, I'm crying now! More crying.
So . . . I always tie M's tie for him. He can do it, but he just likes it more when I do it. So, the wedding day was no exception. He said it was actually kind of annoying waiting to tie it because everyone he saw asked him if he needed help.
There we go . . . looking good!

Next up, our Bridal Portraits . . . some of my favorite from the day!

Boys help each other too!

Here we have Marshall and a couple of his groomsmen getting ready. I was told later that they mooned the photographer as soon as he walked into the hotel room and then made him drink a beer. Alyssa said he commented "we need to have more weddings with guys from Missouri!" I love it. My sweet letter to my new hubby!! He is going to hate me for putting these pics up! What are they looking at?? The cool guitar pick that I had made . . . I think it is a super creative gift.
Plus the hankie that I embroidered.Goofy groomsmen.
Look! Boys help each other dress too!!Look how trashed this place is. Snacking on our leftovers as they waited for us to finish getting ready.
Still helping each other get dressed!
