Glamnuptials: Strike the pose Part 1.

Last time we left off .... we were in the posing mode; first I strut my stuff, then it was Mr.Flamingo turn. Well, my girls (sister and cousin) were anxious to take some pictures so we got ready to strike the pose. Say Sex! (instead of cheese... its so much better - don't you think???)

I must admit that I seriously felt like a cut (Ctrl + C / Apple + C ) and paste (Ctrl + V / Apple +V) for all the pictures. I look like a porcelain doll with the same smile and position... and the people around me were photoshopped in. Guess thats what happens when ALL the pictures are taken in the same place.

My sisters looked so glamorous on my wedding day. I was so happy that they really considered my theme and asked for vintage inspired hairstyles. They were perfect. Just how I like them.

Thats it... we only took pictures in the stairs. When we asked to take pictures in the grass, or somewhere else, he didnt want. Said that the sun was too bright and would create ugly pictures cuz of the shadows. WTF? Come on! Are you serious??? Plus, my mom had specifically gotten the grass redone in the front for wedding pictures. Didn't work out like she planned either.

Off to the church...

I love this next picture of my in-laws and Mr.Flamingos 2 little nieces. It was nice to have a "in-the moment" picture of them, since all the other pics were very calculated.

During the ceremony, my gals where having fun snapping pictures. Girls... I'm getting married, and I'm in front of you. :) Aren't they so beautiful? Someone even pointed out that they looked naked. Bad girls! Not in church!!!

Trying to get everyone together for a group shot was definitely not an easy task... but the outcome was great. Minus the couple of people not looking, or have their mouths open. Either way, I love this shot, we are one sexy group!

After the ceremony, we were off to take some pictures at The Manoir Globensky. I happened to get married on a holiday weekend which now that I look at it, wasn't the best idea ever. Saint-Jean Baptiste weekend (sort of like your Independence day à la Quebecois) is the most celebrated holiday here in Quebec. Filled with local artistes, fireworks and lots and lots of blue and white flags.

When I called the city to see whether I could take pictures at the Manoir, they told me there was no problem. I asked them again, knowing that it was a holiday and they reassured me. Well, as we arrived, the entranced was blocked and we couldn't get it. Security guards were blocking the road and told us we couldn't go cuz of the National Holiday. Crap Crap Crap!

I was furious... you have no idea. I specifically called to make sure there wouldn't be any problems... and then exactly what they said wouldn't happen - did! Luckily one of the organizer saw my worried face, and gave us a green light to snap some pictures fast. Don't you just love people like that... thank you sir!

(notice the blue and white flags in the background - hurray for national day ;) )

Trying not to push our luck too much, we snapped a couple of pictures. (and when I say a couple, I am not over exaggerating ;). One of the girls mentioned that there was a nice little bench across the street overlooking a river. I never noticed this little spot when I was looking for nice places for pics. Its like it was meant to be...so off we went.

Guys have nothing to worry about really. Simply smile and there you have it. When it came time for the girls to pose, we were checking our teeth, re-apply our gloss, fix our dresses....

But its worth it in the end...
