A moment in the street just before heading into the reception at The Joule



Christine gets her hair and makeup done by the amazing Mo Bowers at the hotel


The bridesmaids attempting to pose for friends


Everyone sees Christine for the first time in her dress


Steven's gift to Christine was an elegant set of pearl earrings and a necklace... complete with their matching blue boxes.


Christine's amazing dress


Love this quiet moment


Mom


The ladies head to the sanctuary for some photographs


Ok... so these next three photographs are from Christine's bridal portrait at the Stoneleigh Hotel but I just had to share since we rarely get to blog those sessions before the wedding
