bridals

Another picture post? Yeah I know they will soon come to an end. Although, I find this is the most exciting part of peoples blogs, but then again maybe I am the only crazy one who loves to look at people's weddings.

Luck was definitely on our side when we took our bridals. The day before was freezing and terrible weather, so windy and just blah - side note: we were so worried about the wind because we were doing pictures at Thanksgiving Point -but for some reason the weather gods blessed us with the most perfect weather I wasn't even cold and that never happens!

I was so nervous to see Jordan! I don't know why, but when I was walking towards where he stood waiting, my heart was pounding, I had the worst butterflies and I couldn't breathe right. When he turned around it was the most perfect moment and all of that nervousness disappeared. I am so glad we took bridals before our wedding.Some people don't like the idea of the "groom seeing the bride" before the wedding, but honestly I am so happy we have these pictures and were able to display them at our reception.

Along with Travis (www.travisjphotography.com) snapping still shots we were able to have Trevor Haugen of Haugen Creative www.haugencreative.com filming the whole evening. I highly recommend doing a video and Trevor is absolutely amazing. We felt so blessed because Trevor and Travis have worked together multiple times and their personalities  work so well together that the whole evening felt so great! Unfortunately I am struggling major when trying to add our video to this post so look for another one dedicated to the video coming soon. Its amazing! Okay, I am probably bias, but seriously you wont want to miss it!

I love this picture, because this is when Jordan saw me for the first time in my dress!

maybe it's because I am a dancer, but I love this picture.

This is one of my all time favorites

I am obsessed with this picture!

This face though!

Okay you guys, I'll be honest, I am totally in LOVE with my dress. I couldn't have found a more perfect dress. When we first purchased it I was freaking out a little.. okay A LOT! As you can tell my dress is not white, in fact they call it GOLDEN. Well when I was trying it on in the store I did not want to take it off so I bought it right then and there! As we were driving home I started crying and I'm not talking a little tear here and there I was sobbing. "HOW COULD I BUY A YELLOW DRESS! IT'S MY WEDDING DRESS AND ITS NOT EVEN WHITE. I'M GOING TO LOOK LIKE THE LAKERS! (because our colors were purple). My mom was really good at calming me down and I am so happy I bought a "yellow" dress. It is the most perfect dress for me and I couldn't have been happier! I told Jordan that I want to wear it everyday- crazy bride over here? yeah probably!

Jordan likes this picture because it's my real laugh. I think I look like I'm doing something else.

Also, I am so glad I had a veil! I know right now veils are not very popular, but when I put it on a felt like a bride! Everything just fell into place and I couldn't have been happier.
