One of these days someone might tell me to stop talking about the First Look in my blogs… but until then, I’m going to talk about it.

Not everyone wants to do it… and that’s ok. We have a lot of couples that prefer to do all of their photos after the ceremony. The downside to that, is that you are then far more limited on time.

For Alyssa & Jeff’s wedding at Wedgewood Sierra La Verne, along with several others we’ve photographed so far this summer, they chose to do a first look AND take advantage of a sunset segment. When couples do this they ultimately get TWO full hours of portraits of just the two of them. And let’s face it… when you’re paying for professional wedding photography those really are the most important images… so why not maximize your time and our talent?

Take a look at how lovely it is when you do that… (I’ll be posting a few more weddings from this summer where the couple did this… so you’ll get to see a nice variety if you stay tuned…)

And that’s not even a quarter of the images we got from those two lovely segments. So if you’re open to a first look – we always say DO IT!! If you really don’t want to, that’s ok too – but maaaaybe try to extend your cocktail hour so you can get more photos!

By the way – we are loving Wedgewood Sierra La Verne more and more every time we shoot there!
