Hey
@dsydreamer @ALegrande and everyone else!
I just wanted to mention that we just got our preview pictures back from our Swan Wedding on 12.2.17. We had a West Courtyard ceremony with Cocktail Hour and Dinner/Dancing (we got an awesome DJ) at Crescent Terrace. I thought I'd share some pictures with everyone since this doesn't seem to be a common thing. In fact, we got the impression we were unique in having our wedding this way, so I'm sure those I tagged and others are getting the same impression. I had a really hard time finding any inspiration photos because of the uniqueness of how we did things, so I thought I would share a few of our pictures so that y'all can get a better idea of how things look out at Crescent Terrace at night!
Our photographer was Jesse Sharpe of Jesse Giles photography. I would highly recommend her for those brides conscious about how they look. I was having some SERIOUS, and I mean SERIOUS, bloating in my upper arms on the wedding day and Jessica and her second shooter posed us in such a way that it I look at least somewhat normal, haha!
Anyway, I may start a TR for our wedding so future Swan and Dolphin brides can get a better idea of everything. As I mentioned, I had a difficult time planning our wedding because of the lack of information and example weddings available for me to look at (in the style we were having ours, at least), so I wanted to help in any way I could.
Our wedding was absolutely perfect- from the weather to the guests to the vendors, there is not one thing I would even *tweak* about my day, let alone change (other than how bloated I was!). I highly recommend Swan and Dolphin weddings and I am so happy we didn't go with Disney. I will talk more about this if I decide on a TR, but feel free to leave questions if you have any.
Happy planning everyone! Here are some pictures from our day:
