The morning of our wedding was a bit different than most. Since I didn't have to get my hair done at a salon (woo pixie cut!) and we didn't have a wedding party, we had some free time in the morning. We decided to spend that extra time with our families.

We all went out to breakfast and then took some casual family photos. Family photos often tend to be a bit rushed in between the ceremony and reception, so we decided to block off some time for them, go to a cool location, and use fun heart shaped balloons. We didn't want to be in our wedding formal wear for the breakfast and family photos, so I hunted high and low for a pretty, white sundress.

It was also nice to take some casual photos of just us. We never got engagement photos done, so I'm just thrilled to have these!

Tomorrow - getting ready photos & first look!

    i agree with everyone, breakfast with the family is such a nice way to start the wedding day. i don't think it's something i ever would have thought of (though i'm not planning a wedding)...but the more i think of it the more i like it.

    and you are positively stunning.

    What a fabulous idea! More brides-to-be need to see this so they don't feel like they need to hire a hair girl for something crazy on their head.
