The First Look

***Please forgive the huge gaps in posting, between two jobs and trying to move and such posting has taken a backseat to everything else. I will tell you that my goal is to finish posting my wedding recaps by my anniversary which is in less than one month so I will have to be blogging my butt off to finish.***


We had decided months before the wedding that we were going to do a first look and get some pictures done before the ceremony. We both really enjoyed the idea of having some time together before the ceremony and Mr.Tal always calms me down when I am feeling anxious which I knew I would be feeling that day. The house where we got ready had two floors so my girls and myself put on my finishing touches while the photographers got the guys in place. The groomsmen were shooed out onto the porch and Andy was placed right in front of the stair case with his back to it so he would have to turn around and exactly the right moment. I remember coming down the stairs and my heart beating harder when I saw him, then the photographer had him turn around and they snapped their shots of us.

It was really amazing seeing him for the first time all decked out in his tux. I can't know how he was feeling in that moment but I imagine it was something like amazed, inspired, blessed, happy, scared, excited, all rolled in to one.


Up next: The moments before.
