Jilian & BT's VR 3/24/12 Crescent Terr/Il Mulino - Last of the Randy Chapman pics up!

[DoomBuggy0922]

YAY! I love the picture of you in the tiara. You're so pretty!!!

And WOW that is definitely a good price for your welcome party. Good job!

Also, just a thought: maybe someday down the line (say, for your tenth anniversary?) you could plan a private DP for just you and your husband, and maybe the kiddos can come too. It will be expensive, but worth it.

Your pictures are gorgeous, btw!

 

[Jilian]

Thanks ladies!

I love the idea of a private DP for H and I. I'll definitely keep that in mind. We're actually planning a weekend getaway right now - without kids - for next month (our actual 5 yr anniversary) since we didn't get much time together during our Disney trip.

Loved all of your pics from your VR!!! You looked amazing!!!

I also loved your Glad we Did/Wish we Did list. We are planning our 25th anniv. vr and your list is very helpful.

BTW, you have a beautiful family!!! I wish you many more years of happiness!!!

Great Glad I Did/Wish I Had! Very informative! You got great photopass pictures! Mine are always hit or miss. It's nice that you can plan a getaway trip for your actual anniversary. You can get the best of both worlds!

Random question but what did you think of that construction cover thing on Mainstreet? It doesn't look bad at all in your photopass pic but I thought was a bit of an eye sore when we saw it last month.

Thanks! I'm glad the Glad we did/we we had was helpful. Yay for 25 years, that is quite an accomplishment and you deserve to celebrate with a fabulous VR! Happy planning!

Thank you for the well wishes too

I'm glad the glad I did/wish I had was helpful. Our photopass pics were hit or miss too, we got quite a few and some were just horrible. We didn't do as much as I would have liked but I happy to have about 10 good ones. We pre-ordered the photopass CD so it was only $99 for all of them.

The construction cover on Main Street is awful! Really cheesy looking IMO. I'm surprised it looks halfway decent in the picture to be honest.

Randy's DVD should be here today or tomorrow. One of his assistants called Wed to let me know it was being shipped. I can't wait to see it! I'll post some pictures from it when it arrives and then I think this TR will be done. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, I'm always happy to help my fellow DisBrides, you all were so helpful to me during my planning and I want to pay it forward. Love you all!

I hope to also post stuff for sale on the FB group soon too. I have my Disney bride shirt, Minnie rhinestone robe, a DIY groom shirt I bought from e-bay, dd's flower girl dress, the boy's suits, my shoes and purse, my sash from my dress (or my whole dress with sash) and a few other things I can't think of right now. Anyone who is not on the FB group is free to message me too, I just don't want to post FS items here with prices because I'm pretty sure that isn't allowed.

 

[Jilian]

I hope it is ok to post this here...I posted some of my stuff for sale on the Did FB group but for anyone not on that group here is a link to my Flickr with what I have: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jillmariest/ Top Hat and veil aren't for sale, sorry!

 

[Jilian]

Randy's pics arrived yesterday *swoon* There are 2,760! Some are black and white duplicates but still there are about 1,500 different shots. I'm having a hard time picking my favorites, he did such a great job. I was hoping to at least have 2 or 3 good pictures from the day and I have hundreds. I'm working on loading them into Flickr now and hopefully I'll get some up later. Randy is awesome!

 

[Jilian]

Randy's pics arrived and I'm still sorting through but here are a few of my favorites from the pre-ceremony shots @ the GF

 

[Jilian]

And MOAR!

 

[Jilian]

And finally, my favorites from the pre-ceremony shots. I just love the architecture of the GF!

Okay, confession time: I'm not usually a huge fan of Randy's work (I just don't like the effects he puts on his pictures) but I think your pictures are byfar the most STUNNING I've ever seen from him.

Seriously. They all turned out just gorgeous! I love them ALL!

Randy took some great pictures. They all look great. Of course he had a beautiful person to work with!

Thanks! I usually like Randy's stuff, just not the cutesy stuff because that isn't my style. I think he just really got what we were going for. I was after more elegant shots. Either way, I'm really happy with the pictures he gave us. We have multiples of the same shot with different lightings and some with effects and it really makes a difference. I especially love the ones with the dark borders he added on.

Thanks! Honestly, I wish I looked like that every day! I have Jackie to thank and Randy for the kind angles.

These turned out so great!! I love all of them, you two are so photogenic, seriously! I especially love the one where you are leaned back on your elbows with the chandelier in the background. Looks so candid and sweet. Yay!

 

[virtuous girl]

Wow! Just WOW!

Check u out with your tiara in MK! I love it!

Thanks. The leaned back picture is one of my favorites too, I think my H likes it the best. We'll probably blow that one up.

Wow! Just WOW!

Check u out with your tiara in MK! I love it!

Thanks I totally stole the tiara in MK thing from Jackie but it was fun. Every DisBride needs her own tiara in the MK

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Your pictures are GORGEOUS! I love that first one you posted. So pretty, girlie!!
