Wedding Dress Photos

Finally!! Almost a year after our wedding, Travis and I finally made the time to take some non-traditional photos in my wedding dress. We hired one of our friends (who is working as a professional photographer), and we went around the city of Del Rio for the morning, taking pictures in fun and different locations. I think the pictures came out pretty well, so I wanted to share some of my favorites!

I wore my wedding dress and made my bouquet with sunflowers and red roses. Travis wore his fanciest cargo shorts, white polo shirt, and flip flops. :-)

And, I added a lot of pictures to this post... I apologize for the number...I just couldn't leave any out! :-)

This first batch is in front of a mural in downtown Del Rio, outside an old house that has been renovated as a hair salon/optometrist's office. The owner of the place paints these murals on the huge concrete wall behind his building; his wife is the hairdresser! It was really cool, and I loved the colors behind us in these photos:

This next location is a random, abandoned barn, also in downtown Del Rio, that is now in the middle of a parking lot. We parked next to it on our way to something else and just stopped to take a few pictures. This one is my favorite:

All the pictures with the yellow background were taken in front of the Yellow Taxi Cab office. They have painted their entire building bright yellow, and again, I loved the color!

There was an abandoned trolley in downtown as well that the owner is changing into a restaurant. After we had asked for permission, we took several pictures there. Then, the owner came out, offered us a free dinner at the restaurant (when it opens), and asked for a copy of one of the pictures when we finished. He wants to use the picture in the paper for the opening announcement for the restaurant and for decoration in the trolley! So, does this make us celebrities in Del Rio?? I never thought that would happen... :-)

We also took several pictures at the Del Rio Winery in downtown. It was absolutely beautiful since all the trees and grapes were in bloom!

These last pictures were taken out by a creek behind one of the houses in downtown. Again, just a random place we stopped and ended up getting some great pictures:

It was so fun to take all these pictures, since it felt like we were celebrating the wedding all over again! It's hard to believe we've been married almost a year!! We are looking forward to our anniversary in a few weeks! :-)
