First Look for Wedding's (How I did it)

First, looks are always exciting, and you never know what you will see when your photographer. For me, I don’t want to be the attention. It’s the bride and groom and their private moment. In this case, we set it up. I had the groom sit on a bench. I told him to think about his bride and this day. With that, when his bride gets into position, I would ask him to get up and go around the corner of the tree to see her for the very first time.

When I told him to move, I went way out with my 100-400 lens so that they would not hear me or see me. It’s their special time. My job now was to document it.

Next, I told dad to wait for 15 minutes and then come down to see his daughter for the first time.

There is always a special moment between a dad and his daughter.

First looks as I said before are special. It’s our job to document and stay out of it. Yes, a few tears came out of my eyes. It’s a special time even for the professional.

You never know who you will see in Frankenmuth

Every year my wife and I go to Frankenmuth, Michigan. It’s a town with great locals and everything to do with Christmas with a touch of German. My wife, Lisa, loves the shops and well for me, its about taking photos. I could not help but to my eyes, I believe, maybe my first time. See St Nick.
