Wedding Photos

I’m taking a break from my running woes and going back a few months…

…to WEDDING DAY!

We got our professional photos back and I have to share. (Here’s more of a written review of our beautiful day!)

It was hard to choose so you get to see a million photos! (I’m only semi-hoping we become a Pinterest sensation.) If that’s not your cup of tea, maybe just come back later. All photos are by the talented Jessica Hendrix Photography, the most wonderful, friendly, easy-to-work-with person!

Venue: Pellegrini Vineyards, Cutchogue, NY

My dress was by designer Augusta Jones. It's actually a blush color, although it's hard to tell in the photos!

I wore the letter "b" in rose gold because of it's significance. It's the first letter of Brendan's name, my maiden name, and my new last name.

Something blue/old: My dad's shirt cut into a heart, and a piece of my mom's wedding view sewn together into my dress.

Something old, new, borrowed and blue: My dad’s blue shirt cut into a heart with a piece of my mom’s wedding veil sewn together into my dress, and a bracelet borrowed from Brendan’s mom and one from my mom.

First look with my dad!

First look with Brendan. I was worried this was going to make my walk down the aisle less of a “moment”, but it didn’t. Walking down the aisle was still amazing, and this was an extra moment that was SO incredibly meaningful.

We met working for a football team, so we had to throw in some football-themed decor! Brendan secretly had these decals made :)

rainy wedding

It was very lightly drizzling but I had my dad toss the umbrella right before walking down the aisle.

This photo of my father-in-law and mother-in-law during our ring warming touches my heart so much. I can just SEE him transferring love into our rings.
