our honeymoon!

jesse and i got married on may 15th! it was the most perfect day i could have ever imagined - the weather, the mood, the emotion, the love, the family, just everything. you can see all the pictures from our day here. kristen was our photographer and we are so grateful for her and for all the moments she captured for us. 

on monday morning we left for our honeymoon on anna maria island, florida. it was where we met & got engaged, too. most people have never heard of it, but to me it's the most beautiful place ever. it got rated #2 beach in the US, so there goes what we used to refer as "a best kept secret." we vowed to go back every year. we both have family there too so that should make it a bit easier :)

anyyyyyway, here are some photos from our week together. side note: every day we put the camera somewhere (ground, on top of a trashcan, etc.) and took a picture of the two of us... i highly recommend it instead of the arm out close up face shots which we also have a million of... it was actually a lot of fun.

zoe even had the foresight to have champagne and chocolate covered strawberries ordered to our room on our first night! (aka i have a sweet mother-in-law).

to zoe!

after a glass (or 3) of champagne :)

my wedding gift. it's jesse's fingerprint and zoe's thumbprint in silver. on the back it's engraved 'my love' on his and 'our love' on hers... tell me that's the not sweetest thing ever.

well, this field was to die for. so i made jesse model for me. he wasn't even trying to look this good, it was the first picture i took after i told him to kneel down in the grass... how hot is he?

mmmmmmmm.

i love love.
