Another huge advantage to doing a first look is you will get to knock out almost all of the pictures you will need to take before the ceremony even starts! This means when the ceremony ends, all you will have to do is family portraits and possibly sunset pictures of you two alone (sunset willing). It means you can get to your ceremony quicker, and it means the party can get started, woohoo! There are always those wedding guests who will leave before dessert and if you want that chance to see them, the first look option is the best for you! We have learned that bride’s really want to see their groom’s reaction first hand and you don’t have to compromise that with a first look! It is actually so much more intimate than seeing them for the first time during the ceremony! It’s just the two of you (and us, being as quiet as mice – capturing it) and there’s no chance of a wedding guest ruining your photographer/videographer’s shot of your sweet groom’s reaction by pulling out their cell phones in front of us! (it’s happened y’all – don’t worry we still got the shot J)Obviously, we are 100% here to serve you, and if you want the traditional first look at their ceremony, we still love that too! We just want you to have all the options! It is your wedding day and its totally up to the bride & groom. We are here for you guys and we want to make you as happy as possible!  XOXO – Dylan & Alex
