Palm Beach Wedding Photographer | What's in a first look?

Whether you're a traditional bride or not, every one should consider a First Look on their wedding day. There's a lot of buzz on the subject and, as a photographer, I feel my two cents is of value here.

Your wedding day will fly by. The moments, the memories and the special details will be overcome by anxiously awaiting your walk down the isle. Imagine if you were able to spend a few moments together before the ceremony, to be able to look into each others eyes and to absorb the moment with no one else there (except a ninja photographer). A private, romantic and emotional union that will allow all the nervousness to escape so that you are able to fully enjoy and appreciate your wedding ceremony. Imagine being able to capture this moment. The real, raw and true emotions displayed through professional photographs that will bring the memories of this day to life each time you look at them.

A First Look is a collaborative effort between the B&G and photographer (preferably Mirrored Images ;) ) to set up the perfect scene to execute this amazing moment in time. The emotion of seeing each other for the first time is still captured, but the impact is far greater during a First Look.

When deciding if a first look is right for you, remember the following:
*Your hair and make up will be fresh and picture perfect.
*You'll be able to finish majority of your wedding pictures prior to the ceremony which means you get to the reception faster!
*There are no distractions to take away from your moment together.

So there you have it. Granted, time lines don't always play out as planned but a First Look will put you at the reception mingling with your guests and starting the party off at least one hour before a bride without a First Look.

Palm Beach Newborn Photographer | Aiden {33 days new}

Lil itty bitty Aiden came into the world 8 weeks early and came out ready to see the world. Born June 4, 2012 4lbs 9oz and 16 3/4" long. Aiden is the epitome of a service baby. Dad is a Firefighter Paramedic for Delray Beach Fire Department, mom is a dispatcher for Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, and Uncle Cody is living on Fort Bragg as part of the 82nd Airborne Division. We tried to incorporate a little bit of everything into the session, including proud Dad's drum that he plays for Palm Beach County Firefighters Pipes and Drums (which are my fav out of the session) and Uncle Codys family crest tattoo on his side.

Although Aiden put up a fight, we still won (5 hours later). It was nice hanging out with the Kavanagh crew and meeting Aiden. Congrats Amber and JT :)

Delray Beach FL Wedding Photographer | Mimi + Josue {Engaged}

Mimi was referred to me, through the wonderful word of mouth system.  Their wedding is 11/11/11 here in Palm Beach County and it's going to be a fun wedding, for sure.  This couple is super laid back, easy to get along with, and most important - so in l.o.v.e.  I caught so many candid shots of Josue pushing Mimi's hair out of her face, or staring into her eyes.  Sounds corny, but I swear it wasn't!  They're so sweet together.  We chose to photograph their session in the Morikami Gardens in Delray Beach.  Such a beautiful place, peaceful, and full of color.  We didn't make it far into the gardens because the heat was kickin' our tails, but we did get some great shots of them being in love :)

We went with a Chic/Geek theme which I thought was perfect because Josue is a gamer and into comic books and Mimi loves her geek!  So after a few fun themed shots we moved on to the more romantic, typical e-session shots.  I think they rocked it, they looked hot and of course in love!  Oh and her lashes, for real... I pay $5.99 a set to get lashes like that!  So jealous....
