Handmade Amor: First Look

One of the very first things I read about on Weddingbee was first looks, and I was sold right away!
We both wanted to have a first look, mostly because we wanted to use our photographer's time the best possible way, and having most of our bride and groom pictures before the ceremony will give us time for all the other pictures we wanted after the ceremony. Now looking back I think it was one of the best decisions we made. We had tons of fun, we got to enjoy it in such an intimate way. And at the ceremony, we were both so much more relaxed :)


Even though we discuss it with Adi, our photographer, we didn't really know what we wanted or where we wanted it to happen, so we pretty much left everything up to them. And I am so glad we did, he chooses one side of the caboose, so that way I could walk from the house to the back and go to Mr. Poodle. then the fun part was that even tho we couldn't really see anyone, our families and wedding party saw everything from the main house, pretty awesome I say!


One of my favorite pictures :)


I love how in most of our wedding pictures you can't really tell how windy and cold it was, I think our photographers were awesome!




Even thou most of the pictures have a focus on me, I always remember the huge smile on Mr. Poodle's face, it was one of those moments you always smile when you close your eyes and remember.




It kind of give me goosebumps all over!


After the first look, most of Mr. Poodles comments were about my dress, hair and how he loved the fact that I added color with a sash, after all it was the very first time he saw all my work (and his sister's on my hair) all together.




Thanks to having most of our pictures before the ceremony we end up with LOADS of amazing images, that of course I will share with all of you! I never though after the ceremony everything was going to be so fast, I think after the ceremony we didn't even realize it when it was already dancing time and midnight came just as fast.

About this blog


I am a Spanish speaker and I started this blog as a way to learn English, I was blogging from Chile while we waited on our Visa process so I could move to California and we could have our green and purple wedding. So a big portion of this planning happened while we were still dating long distance.
