Original post by Sonicstef

Edited to add that one of my guests who had a little video camera sent me this which I love...
http://www.thebestkeptsecretonline.com/sl_buttercup2.mpg

My crappy dial up connection (at home) is still sending the photos to shutterfly. But I figured I might as well start. So here goes it....

I will start off by saying that I have more than 1500 proofs and there are at least another 200 that I would like to scan and show you but I just didn't have time this weekend. I will probably scan some more (mostly the little details that Im sure will be more useful for the general audience than my mug all over the place - but you will have to endure these first!)

My photographers were the very wonderful and talented Lynn and Jodi from Mark Kauffman Studios I have so many great shots, I can't even take them all in - and I still have more coming to me!! I can't say enough good things.


Getting Ready


Obligatory dress/shoes/bouquet shot. Notice how this shot is artfully skewed...my house is almost this crooked.


I will spare you from the numerous shots of my hair a pre do mess, in curlers, half in curlers, being blown dry,etc.. Here is the finished product.


Can you tell how much I love myself here? Well, actually this isnt my favorite 'makeup shot' since I have a much better arty one that is reflected through the makeup lady's mirror BUT I figured I would show you what the makeup looked like before I cried, kissed, hugged, sweat, etc..


Me running down the steps to put my dress on. Can you tell Im happy? And in a rush?


The whole crew helping me with my veil. Loved it but it was such a royal pain to get on just right - that took forever!!


This is me critisizing how the veil looks. I swear, I dont remember anyone taking photos of this but they must have been up my a$$.


Only an hour behind schedule! My dad and my MOH helps me to the car.







Not sure where this should go but this is a macro of my bouquet.

The Reception


Our centerpieces which were close but not exactly what I asked for and agreed with florist on.



Us doing our big dance!


Us doing our big dip for our big dance!


Our best man toasting us. He did a great job!


Us toasting with those toasting flutes I slaved over!




Kissing after the cake thing. No, I am not a hunchback. Yet.


Luke enjoying those cigars. Cough, cough!


My dad boogey oogy ogeying!






Notice girl who is laughing out loud in background. Ha to you!


MOH shaking her tail feathers!

Grand Central Station


Here I am crying and clutching Luke. Nice candid of my fat arm.




Practicing the big dip!




I have more to post of us in Times Square but I think my home PC lost the connection because they have not posted yet.

Re: Are you sick of me yet? If not, come see my proofs (and a little video too!)...

NYC:
No problem! Mark was really a pleasure so I recommend his studio to everyone who asks. I know Lynn is considered a 'fine art' photographer so having her is an upgrade. I think Jodi is considered your standard 'main' photographer but Im not sure. I didnt do this - but if I had to do over again - I would go to Marks office and look through all the albums and choose the photographers whose style you like the best. When we booked, it was so overwelming that we never got to do an indepth comparison of all the photographers work so I choose Lynn based on word of mouth and I let Mark choose Jodi based on what he knew I wanted. Im obviously very happy about how it turned out but I think the above method is probably the best way to go about it :D Just speak to Mark about what you want and Im sure he will help you with this.

And I would LOVE to plan weddings but unfortunetely, most people don't like to pay for that stuff and I stink at getting clients. So its the corporate world for me, at least for now :D

Thanks to everyone else for all your really kind words - makes a girl feel good! Im going to try to scan more tonight and then when I get my high speed film - watch out!

Beautiful pics!! It really looks as though planning everything down to the last detail really worked out for you. I only hope my wedding turns out to be half as beautiful. Silly question, you might have already answered but, what happened to your straps? The dress really looks equally beautiful both ways.

Re: Are you sick of me yet? I know you are...but I added even more proofs!

Not a silly question at all...

During my receiving line, one of my straps broke (see my vendor review of Bridal Reflections). My MOH (who was the best MOh EVER!) came to the rescue with emergency needle and thread and fixed it right up.

At the end of the evening, the other strap broke. At this point, I didnt want to waste my last few songs to fix the strap so I ran over to my MOH who ripped both off.

It was just a few threads holding those triangular fabric pieces in place so it can be easily fixed (when I figure out where to have my dress preserved!)

I remember reading that (about one strap breaking), and thinking OMG! I would have freaked. I know Anne Barge is $$$, did you alter the straps at all, or did they come from the manufacturer this way? Either way, I'd be MAD at somebody! But really, the dress looked beautiful both ways, so thankfully it wasn't a huge deal.

It wasnt Anne Barge's fault at all. I had the seamstress make the straps a bit tighter so she removed and resewed them on. Of course, when it broke I saw that she only did about 8 stitches through which didnt last through all the hugging of the receiving line. I was a little mad and wish I had a more careful seamstress but it could have been a lot worse.

Im back with more photos!


Showing off the shoes. I never thought I had abnormally large calves until this photo :D


Above referenced makeup mirror shot


Me playing in Photoshop with turkey arm photo


If we were smiling, this would be my favorite shot...of course we look like we are mourning here..but I can still appreciate it cant I?


And if you hadn't seen enough of shots where Im crying and Luke is laughing at me...


Praticing our first dance in Grand Central...I swear Im not this tall!


Another library shot


Another shot I like for the imagery rather than the content



I dont know why but I like shots of our backs!


Cheesy pose that Luke really likes!


Recessional


Sequence shot of Luke picking me up like sack of pototoes in Times Square

I LOVE your shoes... where did you get them???

Re: Are you sick of me yet? I know you are...but I added even more proofs!

Thanks LIWeddings! Im a dunce when it comes to spelling (as you can see!)

sn00k: I got my shoes at Bloomingdales (for $26!!). The brand is Camparos. They are a slingback style but I tied a ribbon around the back so they would be more secure.
