Let’s dive into the details. There are so many parts of a wedding day that are talked about, but one that often goes untacked about are the detail photos leading up to the big photo moments. FIRST LOOK, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception - sure we love them and all the emotions and laughs that occur but the first hour leading up to bridesmaid photos is maybe one of our favorites. If you’ve been an athlete It’s those “pre-game” jitters it’s a chance to be creative and get in the flow. It’s a chance to showcase the venue, play with light, try new flat lays with invitations/rings/shoes. It’s a photographers dream. Monserate Winery

Let’s dive in. There is obviously a reason first looks have come into popularity over the years and for the simplicity lets focus on the main two reasons: logistics & photos. Getting married in the fall or winter months we are faced with the harsh reality that the sun is not in our favor meaning less light for romantic photos of you the couple, family, and bridal party.

As San Diego wedding photographers we are diving in to first look details on our California wedding blog. If you are a bride to be and recently engaged make sure to take a look for wedding photos and wedding Inso on our San Diego wedding blog.
