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.

West Palm Beach Photographer | Maternity Photography
About a month ago I photographed my brother and his wife with their lil Mason on board and I just realized I never blogged about it. We photographed their maternity session at the Polo Fields in Wellington on a friend of Lisa's property. They were fantastic, we got to use Buttercup (their horse) as a prop and had full access to anything on the property. They were awesome, thanks again! So here it is:
Palm Beach Newborn Photography | Emelie {10 days new}
So when I gave mom the low down on how to prepare for this session, she thought I was nuts. I can see where she thought that, because keeping a baby awake for an extended period of time is pretty nuts (especially when all mom wants to do is sleep!). But after the session mom was begging me to do nightly photo session of lil Emelie because she slept from 7pm to 12:30 am, ate and then she slept again until 6:30 am. I think it's safe to say I wore her out, but she was an excellent model!
Congrats on your beautiful little girl, Aritta. She's perfect.
Palm Beach Boudoir Photographer | Valentines Day Boudoir Photography
So here we are. Only 12 days until what is supposed to be the most romantic day of the year. I've had ah-may-zing clients this Valentines Day season and still have several to go. These ladies had their men in mind for these photos.
What's better than getting all dolled up, rolling around in the sheets, feeling sexy, confident, and beautiful? I'll tell ya.... it's taking that experience and wrapping it up in a pretty box with a bow and handing it over to the hunny. Just wait.... wait for it..... there it is.... his absolute astonishment when he see's what you did for him. Yep, that's the best gift ever. I guarantee he'll never forget it and neither will you.
Of the ladies I've photographed this season, a few have given me permission to share their beautiful images and show other ladies that it doesn't take a Victories Secret model to pull this off. Big thanks to Jennifer (Beauty by Jennifer Cruz) who set these ladies up with everything they needed to look and feel great.
Here's three ladies for now.... maybe I'll share more later ;)
