8.13.09 Bridals (with marc)

And all the credit goes to Kate Benson...our amazing photographer!




Never once in the past fifteen years did I imagine my wedding dress with a big bow on the back...and, yet, I LOVE it!  I loved that it was supposed to be crooked (which confused several of the little old ladies who were working in the temple on my wedding day...they kept trying to straighten it for me).  Thank you to Melissa Blackburn for the inspiration behind the bow!

At this point it is raining...and not just a little.  I don't know what I was thinking standing in a muddy field in the rain in my wedding dress that still had to be worn at two receptions not to mention on the actual wedding day.  But I'm a lover of photography.  I did it all for the photos...and it was so worth it.

I just love the dynamics of this one with the two of us directly under the four windows which are off center...love it!

This may sound a little crazy...


...but at my dress fitting yesterday with Melissa Blackburn, the image of Winged Victory kept coming to my head.  No, my dress is nothing like the drapey fabric of the sculpture, but I guess I just felt a little ethereal in it.  I really am so excited for the finished product.  Melissa is absolutely amazing at what she does.  It is a wonderful feeling to completely trust the person who is largely responsible for how you are going to look on your wedding day.
