Established: Part 1

Before ever becoming engaged, Wyet and I both knew exactly how we wanted to do this whole wedding bit. We wanted it to be very intimate and anything but ordinary. In fact, we had all of our plans finalized before making it official {over-preparedness is a trait we both carry strong}. Because we knew our relationship was anything but normal, we wanted our wedding to parallel that.

As we had planned a destination wedding, we knew we would have to do a few other things out of order {not uncommon for us}. Our plan was to send wedding announcements rather than invitations as by the time our loved ones received them, we would already be wed. I wanted our pictures to be taken in our wedding attire, and so I knew Wyet would see me in my dress before the big day. At first, I was a little skeptical about this {as supposedly it's bad luck} and then I decided to disregard the superstition. A beautiful white gown was harmless.

We arranged to have our photos taken just before memorial day. It had been pouring rain the weeks prior, but the clouds seemed to part that day just for us. Wyet and I drove to our session separately so we could have a "first look" reveal photo. Seeing Wyet in his suit that day & with me in my dress, everything seemed to have finally fallen in place. Maybe we weren't quite husband and wife that day, but it certainly felt like it, and truth be told, we fit the part perfectly.

The first look!

I love this sign my mom gave me! It was the perfect way to acknowledge our approaching wedding date.

My good looking groom!

Easily, my favorite picture.

I love photos of hands! You can tell so much about a person by their hands. Wyet's hands are clearly working hands and the tattoos fit him perfectly. The wedding band is the perfect finishing touch.

Something blue.

I love this picture caught mid-laugh!
