It's nothing new that social media has really grown in the last couple of years. I mean, there's a hashtag for everything these days....including our wedding!Matt and I both use social media a lot.....Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Reddit, and the list goes on. A lot of our friends and family do, as well, on a pretty regular basis. We just knew that there would be tons of people taking pictures and Instagramming on June 8th, and we wanted to make sure we would be able to look back and see those pictures even after the wedding. In fact, later that night while we were waiting for [our second] dinner, we went through and looked at most of them, and I'm pretty sure I said, "awww" or "oh my gosh!" a million times! haha.
So, this blog post is to thank all of our friends and family who took pictures, documented our wedding from their perspective, and shared them on Instagram using our hashtag #mandmwedding! It was so wonderful seeing them and we loved them all!!
Now, I promised a lot of pictures would be on today's post, and that's exactly what you're going to get. I gathered all of these Instagram pictures through the website Statigram. It was very easy to log in to my Instagram account, search for the hashtag we used and pull up all
of the pictures. I'll go ahead and say that beneath each picture, I will tell you who took the picture and who they were! That way, you can kind of understand where their perspective is coming from!
Sidenote: I feel like I have to include this just in case there are some people who don't use social media as much. When someone uses a hashtag, like #mandmwedding, the hashtag basically becomes a link. When you click on the link, it brings up all of the pictures that also have the same hashtag.
There was only one picture from the rehearsal...probably because no one really wanted to have their phones out in the rain......that is, of course, my sister ;)

As simple as this picture might be, I loved it.
Matt posted it after getting ready at The Berkeley and captioned it, "no cold feet here."
Needless to say, after I saw it on Instagram, I got so excited and thought, "okay, this is finally happening!" :)

I love that Jordan, and another dear friend, Lacey, both took a picture of pretty much the exact same moment, but from different angles!

I had this weird thing about wanting us to be the first to share a picture of us from the wedding.
We may not have been the first, but it was pretty close to being the first!
This was taken when Matt and I had our portraits done, and Matt shared it with the social media world, haha.
