Its becoming more and more popular to take your wedding formals before the actual wedding day. It gives you a chance to be more present the day of, its more intimate with just the two of you, there’s no time restraint or location restrictions, and it can be done at the best time of day to get the ultimate lighting. The one hesitation we seem to get from brides is the first look. They want that “of my gosh” moment with their soon to be spouse that you might get when they see you for the first time walking down the aisle or in the temple or however you choose to be married. But we can still give you that same moment with just the two of you during your formal session. It can be just as powerful and emotional and even more intimate because its just the two of you together. That’s what this beautiful couple choose to do. And it might have been one of the sweetest reactions I’ve seen. This groom is literally in shock at how stunning his bride to be is and I am so happy Simply Shelby by Olivia was there to keep these memories alive. She finished up the night with their formal session too, but this post is specifically their first look because man it was to good not to share. Our summer weddings are killing it this year and I can’t wait to share more!
