1. FIRST LOOK
If your being traditional, we complete understand the traditional values of not seeing each other before walking down the aisle. But the first look is one of our client’s favorite moments before the ceremony. It’s a special moment the couples shares to see each other before the day begins. Being able to spend those few moments together and capturing your reactions before saying ”I Do” is truly a magical moment you will completely fall in love with during and after. If you do want to stick to tradition, then share a first look with you parents so that they are able to enjoy this private moment as a piece of art it truly is.

3. WEDDING PARTY SHOTS
It is great to do the standard shots of you and your wedding party at the alter, and before the reception. We recommend finding a place other than the venue and having an areal shot with a drone or venues that have balconies that can offer you some aerial shots. Whether it is shots of the drone over the dance floor while your dancing, or outdoor shots of the wedding party enjoying the moments with you before heading over to the reception venue. Be creative with your wedding party shots, either its them hold up signs on how they know the bride and groom, or helping you get ready, its these moments you will be able to cherish with them later.

Sharing the moments of having your mom place your veil or dupatta on your head, or your brother and father fixing your tie on the big day will be the moments your cherish later.
