First Look on the 1st : Megan + Kevin

March 1, 2012 by Jensey 1 Comment

Thank you, Megan, for sharing your story with us! Much love to you, Kevin, and baby Eli on the way! :)

Upon first meeting the Roots, Kevin and I fell in love with the idea of doing a first look session with them. However, while we loved it our family was hesitant saying that it was bad luck to see each other before I walked down the aisle. But they were overruled, we both wanted a special moment, just us, to kiss each other and talk before the craziness of the day really started.

I remember riding in the limo with Nate and Jensey to the beach where I was meeting Kevin. I think I was so nervously excited that I did not say two words. Walking down the boardwalk I saw him leaning on the railing with his back to me, in that moment I was so giddy, emotional, and in love with this man that I wanted to scream! I think I said “Pssst, turn around babe,” and as soon as our eyes met it was like meeting him again for the first time. We kissed and held each other close, and in those moments I felt like we were the only two people in the world.

We had so much fun running barefoot on the sand together, dancing by the water and goofing off before the ceremony. It made us both feel so relaxed and at ease before the big event took place. And best of all, we didn’t have to wait until we were pronounced man and wife to kiss each other!

To sum it up, our first look was sweet, intimate, unforgettable and amazing. We would not have changed a thing. It was definitely one of the most memorable moments of our big day! Thanks Nate and Jensey!

First Look on the 1st : Erin + Rick

November 1, 2011 by Jensey 1 Comment

Sent to us from past couple Erin and Rick :

As many other couples, we originally chose to do a first look for practicality. As our wedding day approached we realized how important it was for us to have great photos throughout our day. We knew the day would fly by once we were ready to go and the first look was our chance to take a few moments before the busyness of the day began. We were able to chat about the little details of the big day ahead.

From Erin’s point of view: “There was one thing I was sure about, that I didn’t want to cry in front of everyone during the ceremony. I wanted to be able to focus on our vows and not worry how I looked to the guests or cameras.”

From Rick’s point of view: “As much of our day was nontraditional in nature, the first look was our chance to get nervousness out of the way.”

Looking back we wouldn’t have changed a thing. We hope other couples choose to do a first look so they are able to take advantage of this experience they won’t soon forget.
