What is it?  It’s a growing trend among couples whom choose to see each other before the ceremony.  It is a private moment captured.  This private meeting allows the couple to express themselves without distractions. In addition, it allows more time for them to be photographed as a couple.  Usually, most couples are eager to join their guests (I don’t blame them) or want formals photographs taken directly after the ceremony.  And, when it is time to have their couple portraits taken, the lighting might be anything but ideal.

This past year I have had the privilege or working with the talented Albert Lewis of Mulberry Photography.  Click here to check out his post on this wedding.  Here’s a beautiful example of a first look meeting captured at the one of my favorite venues, The Parker, Palm Springs.

I loved the way he looked at her.
