as usual, i could look at your blog and beautiful pictures ALL day!
i love these- yes, i am bias, but i still LOVE these!
great, amazing, work as usual. you are a pro at catching those fun and fleeting moments that people share for a split second and wish they had photographs of.

The First Look Session

The First look sessions are gaining popularity among todays photo-lovin’ brides! These sessions usually take place about up to 3 hours before the ceremony start time.  We pick a special location were the groom waits alone and the bride comes to him so they see each other for the first time alone!  The photographer is tucked away with a long lens to capture every smile, tear, and hug!  Then you are able to walk around a get amazing portraits of the two of you without being rushed to get to your guests at the reception!  Here are a few images from recent first look sessions!
