Taking Advantage Of A "First Look" - Thomas & Latrena at Sanders Estate in Auburn...

Thomas and Latrena

August 25, 2012

You've gotta a guy who is totally nuts about his woman!

I took this "sneak peak" shot while Latrena was about to approach Thomas for their "first look," just before their wedding ceremony on Saturday, August 25th at Sanders Estate in Auburn.

And minutes later, with a happy wedding party all lined up and ready to go, Latrena walked down the aisle to her waiting groom, with the biggest smile on her face!

Many brides and grooms have taken to a "first look" before a ceremony - some minutes before, some hours before.

In this ceremony work that I do, I much prepare that a bride and groom see and interact with each other before a ceremony.  This creates a much more relaxed feel during a wedding ceremony.  Simply put, with a first look, there isn't as much "overwhelm" as there is when a couple "sees each other" for the very first time as the bride walks down the aisle.

You've Just Gotta Love Jeremy and Nicole Sutton!

Jeremy and Nicole

Georgetown Ballroom - August 10, 2012

Photographer Jenny Goldberg-George and I are on the same wedding page when it comes to Jeremy and Nicole - we totally love this couple!

On a crazy hot afternoon - August 10, 2012 - at the historic and iconic Georgetown Ballroom, the room was packed with thrilled family and friends. 

Jeremy started the processional and what a parade is was!  Family, friends and wedding party all walked down the aisle, filling the ceremony space at the front - and all personally greeted by Jeremy.  AND the big moment was when the beautiful and vibrant Nicole made her way to Jeremy - with a smile so bright!

When it comes to a super-sized group of people walking down the aisle, etiquette comes into play as well as the flow/tone.  If you desire to have a "parade" of people (and more couples do these days), work with your Officiant to set things up so the process flows and sets a vibrant and upbeat tone for your ceremony!
