The idea behind a first look session is really quite simple: Set up a shoot to capture the fleeting moment when the bride and groom first lay eyes on each other on their big day. Some people don’t like this idea at all.

It’s a strategy that might distract from the thrill of walking down the aisle. Personally, when I’m attending a wedding, I love seeing the look in the grooms eyes and on his face when he first sees the bride. Being a photographer, I get to see it either way. 🙂 But with a first look, you receive a thoughtfully captured moment that allows for the full emotional impact of seeing your partner for the first time.

Alternately, couples can arrange a “day after” photo session. These shoots occur after the ceremony on a day pre-arranged by you and your photographer. Its a great way to free up more time for you to enjoy your reception and guests.

Think about whether or not this is an option for you. Either way, we will capture gorgeous photos in whatever environment of your choosing. Talk to your wedding photographer.
