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.

Stef - your pictures are just beautiful!!!! Hey, can you tell me how you made the placesettings - the votive candles?? My cousin is getting married next year and wants to do that but we're not sure where we should buy the candles and how to attach the names. How much did those cost??
THanks so much for your help!!!

Re: Im not as narcissistic as it looks...but I added even more proofs!

I love the shots of you two walking around the city. How fun!

Tracyann: Do a search on votive placecards and you will find several threads that go over this in detail. I think Im the first one who did it on this board but several other girls have/will do it too so you will get a lot of info about it. The votives were 50cents, 5 cents each and the vellum was less than 1 cent per wrap.

Re: Im not as narcissistic as it looks...but I added even more proofs!

THanks...I think you have all seen enough of my ugly mug for a while. I'll be back to post my website when its finished :D

One last parting one that looks so much better on my PC than it does here but you get the idea, I used my PC to color in the bouquets:

Re: Im not as narcissistic as it looks...but I added even more proofs!

This was my first look at yu wedding shots. They are wonderful. I esp. love all the nyc shots. NYC is the perfect back drop for a wedding. I also love your toasting glasses shot and the shot of you in your robe! Wonderful. It shows all your attention to detail and plannind paid off to a perfectly beautiful day!

Re: Im not as narcissistic as it looks...ok, maybe I am. Ha! (a music video and more proofs in here)

Your pictures are absolutely amazing!! I love the video too! It looks like you had a wonderful day. I'm inspired by all the creative little touches you added to your wedding. Now I just have to find the time
