Pictures! Literarily Different

I know that have been woefully absent. So absent that I might not even be remembered. It seems that I have a way of underestimating things, for example I underestimated the problems one might have with internet in Mexico. For whatever reason the internet connection we have here in lovely Zacatecas hates the site upon which I blog. Hates it to the degree that crashing and losing of half-typed entries drove me to give up for almost two months. But here are more pictures at last.

So our photos were taken largely in Powell's City of Books, which bills itself as the world's largest independent bookstore. I was so grateful that they would let us in there on their busiest night of the week to take pictures. And let me be clear that even though we did our best, we were definitely in the way. But if you really have an idea that you think represents you as a couple, go for it, because the pictures came out awesome!

The boys browsing a bit while they waited for me to show up to do the reveal. But where were me and the girls at?

Right! Goofing around with parasols outside. But we showed up eventually....
And we got to meet for the first time on our wedding day beneath the stacks.

Then on to the Rare Book Room for the group shots.

And some I didn't even know they were taking. In the one above I was watching the other photographer take pictures of Mr. Robin, notice the big smile.

There were truly a lot of pictures taken inside Powell's, and I love them all. We goofed around a little and had fun. The only thing I wish we had planned for was more time. We never got to go outside much in the Pearl District and it had great photo opportunities. Give yourself way more time than you think you will need.

Pictures! Part One: Prep

Sorry that it has been long time, no blog, but believe it or not packing up your whole life and moving to a completely different country is more time consuming than planning a wedding. I know, I didn't think that was possible either!

But here I am with eight hours to kill in Mazatlan before our bus leaves for Zacatecas, and therefore I thought I would post up some of the pictures that we got from our amazing photographers, who not only got us the pictures super quick, but busted out some custom Thank You cards in only five days! I love those guys.It is important to start the morning of your wedding off right. Step one should be coffee, especially if you have to venture out sans makeup. Step Two...Pedicures! Seriously though, it was about 36 degrees out in this shot and our feet are freezing.

At the Armory, which is a theater, we received the larger dressing room behind the stage, which was great to do make-up and hair.
I love the above photo because the photographer captured everyone but my sister in one cascade.
My beautiful 'maid did my hair and make-up a la femme fatal. Since we were having a night wedding I wanted to have a dramatic look.
Prepped and ready, there is nothing to do but linger in the stairwell waiting for the groom and his attendents to leave the ceremony area.

Post Script: Well obviously I did not get this posted three days ago when we were in Mazatlan. I just couldn't get the website to upload photos, which was the whole point of this post. So greetings from my new apartment in Zacatecas, Mexico.
