First Looks: A Wedding Time Saver!

First looks are all the rage in the world of wedding photography. It’s when the bride and groom catch a glimpse of each other before the wedding ceremony. Not only is it a great opportunity to capture the emotions of seeing each other for the first time without the pressure of a room full of […]

Keeley @ My Life on a Plate - I love this “first look” idea! I’ve seen this done before, but I’ve never heard that term.

Some of my older family members are appalled by the idea of breaking tradition and having the groom see the bride prior to the ceremony. I think it’s so much better to take the photos before your makeup is cried out and without the pressure of having to rush back to a reception. When you plan a beautiful wedding in a beautiful location and spend big $$$ on photography you should be relaxed enough to get the photos you want. I remember feeling rushed at my wedding and not getting the photos I wanted with the people I wanted as a result. Great post!

Amy - What awesome backdrops!

Tanja - I love all these photos so much. Its amazing how different and unique the chimney rock pictures came out through the camera’s perspective versus seeing the whole thing in real life. (With the 2 rocks walls it made the photos so intimate.) Great job.

Tiera - These photos are so great! And the concept is interesting. There’s a lot of fun and tradition with waiting for the bride to walk down the aisle before the groom sees her, but this can be so wonderful too. Not only is it efficient, but it creates a beautiful private moment for the bride & groom to share <3

Gloria - Awww that first photo is so sweet! I’m so glad we opted to do a First Look shoot too – seeing Hubs before the ceremony definitely helped calm my nerves :-)

Tanja + Zach : Part One

A month after I launched my photography website in September 2010 and way before my business even became official, Tanja contacted me about taking photos at her wedding.  She believed in me before I believed in myself. I warned her at the time that I was just starting out – did she really want to […]

The Creativity Project // COLORS

I had every intention of going out with my camera this weekend to take pictures for The Creativity Project “COLORS” theme. However, time just slipped away and before you know it was Monday night and I had nothing to show for it.  Luckily, the Packer Memorial Church in the Lehigh University campus (where we shot a wedding […]
