The benefits of a "First Look" on weddings?

If you are a non traditional bride then doing a "First Look is a fantastic option for your wedding day.  The first task at hand will be the location for your images.  Location, location, location!!!!  I always recommend a location with wonderful natural light because emotions are best complimented with natural surroundings.

Last weekend our "First Look" was in Audubon Park two hours before the ceremony time.  This time frame gave us the opportunity to capture true raw emotions of the bride and groom seeing each other all dressed up for the 1st time.  The sun going down beyond the trees dripping with Moss provided the perfect background for my photography.  The orange sun glistened on the brides face  as the  groom wiped his bride's tears of joy.  Once their moment was done we were able to capture the bridal party and important family members in the park.  This design gave  them the most time possible at their reception to enjoy with their friends and family.

I always love working with a professional wedding planner who knows how to create a timeline for the event.  I mean an extensive timeline with staff to help everything happen smoothly throughout the event!  

So when you are considering a "First Look" for your wedding remember how to get the most out of your time and our talent.
