Bubbling With Joy: Family Fun

Next, our parents and siblings came out to join us for group shots.  As the casts were changing, there were a couple more fun candids:

Then we were off again, starting with my parents:

And finally, my half-sister (one of my dad's daughters from a previous marriage) and her family:

And with that, our family photos were a wrap!  Time to go hide ourselves away before all the guests started arriving for the ceremony!

Bubbling With Joy: Bridal Party Pics

The weather kept holding up for us (woohoo!), so we decided to keep on going with bridal party and family photos outside.   First, though, there is this funny candid shot of all of us as we were getting assembled for the group shots.  Clearly Mr. C was happy to have a beverage back in his hand.

Haha!  Totally cracks me up.

First up, Mr. C and his groomsmen:

Best buds

Best bros!

Then it was the girls' turn:

Chicago J, Miss C, and NYC J

This one isn't as "formal" but I like it!

A butterfly flew over and perched on my bouquet when Chicago J and I took our photo - check it out!

And the whole group:

Everyone looks so happy!

A great full length shot, too. 

One thing I remember about the group photos is how quickly they went!  Our photographers were fantastic - they took one or two pics of each grouping, and that was it.  They clearly knew they got some great shots and didn't need to keep on snapping away.  It was awesome, as it meant that we sailed through the photos and no one had time to get hot (although the rain had cooled things down, thankfully!) or antsy or tired.  Which meant the smiles kept on coming!

Family joins us in the next recap...

Bubbling With Joy: The Happy Couple

After sharing a few quiet moments together during our first look, we started off our portraits under the outdoor ceremony arch.  

Personal photo

As Lindsey and Beto snapped away, the sun decided to emerge from behind the clouds in just the spot that made us both squint.  Both of us looked a little stiff in these pictures, anyway - we were just getting warmed up.  So, we took a few more shots but decided to move on to a location that worked better for everyone. 

We moved to a large area of flagstone under an amazingly huge pecan tree.  What a breathtaking arch it created! 

Now we're getting somewhere!  Mr. C is starting to enjoy himself, and the sun is in the perfect place.  Let's pretend like we actually like each other.

One of our favorite shots of the day (below) also happened to be the sneak peek our photographers sent us that night.  They cropped the sneak peek into a square photo, though, so we didn't see the full frame until we got the files...now I remember why we were both grinning like crazy. 

Sneaky Mr. C.

 He's a handsy one.  But it made us laugh.

 We had the requisite "shoe" shot, too - too bad Mr. C didn't show off his fun socks!

Then we went for a (short) walk, which brought us two of my other favorite shots of the day:

And then it was time to goof around a little.  I love the ones where we are clearly laughing out loud.

You can't say we don't have fun!

On to our individual shots.  Here are my favorite two of Mr. C, looking oh so dapper.  (He didn't take very many portraits, but these two turned out great.)

Then it was my turn.  I love so many of my portraits, it's too hard to choose just a couple of favorites!  So I hope you'll indulge me as I share a rather large handful...

I love how our portraits both together and apart capture exactly how we were feeling that day - pretty much giddy with happiness.  I feel like we just glow with excitement in all of them.
