Ok, ok, I get it. I'm pretty sure I've seen that at weddings before & never really considered how the picture came to be. I would have such a hard time not sharing with my FI! Heck, I'm having a hard time not showing him my dress.

Wow, what beautiful photos! Here are my picks: 9, 31, 34, 51. I think you are absolutely ethreal in #34 and that is probably my favorite! Your photographer did a beautiful job. I love the capitol shots as well. How long did you shoot for?

I love #51 also!

I think everything in the shot just looks great.

Beautiful lighting, backdrop and bride!!

Also I think in this one the detail on your dress really shows without being too "posed" and you look radiant!!

[NABUMBAH]

those are great!!

thanks - 34 is another of my favorites as well. we shot for just under 2 hours and timed it around sunset (started at 6:00 PM and finished before 8PM)
