Wedding Day First-look Session? YES!

  The tradition of seeing your significant other for the first time at the wedding ceremony is not a given anymore.  Some couples opt for a private, pre-ceremony “first look” at each other dressed in their wedding attire, with photography.  The topic of whether to do a first look or not will come up during your wedding planning and everyone you know will have an opinion on it.

  One of my favorite parts of a wedding is the Champagne toast. How cool it is to drink a toast to the newly wedded couple! I love the idea of a bestie (or two!) standing up next to a bride or groom and telling the story of their friendship and the newlyweds’ courtship. Seeing the relationships that our clients have with their friends fills my heart.
