Davina and Kevin decided to have their first look prior to the ceremony. This is where couples decide to see each other before the ceremony so they can finish photos and get to the reception faster! The first look can take place at the ceremony spot or at another beautiful setting. Sometimes the bride walks straight to the groom as he looks at her. Other times, the bride walks to the groom as his back it turned. Then she taps on his shoulder for him to turn around.

This is a great way to talk to each other before the ceremony and calm nerves. It’s a good opportunity to have a private moment, which you would not get after coming down the aisle for the ceremony. Some brides are still traditional and refuse to let the groom even get a peak before the ceremony! The first look is easy on the photographer, the guests, and the wedding party and couple. But, ultimately it is your decision; don’t let anyone talk you into it unless you want to!

The centerpieces were river rock, moss, gold fish, and greenery. They were gorgeous!

Sparklers have become a popular departure item! Just be sure to spread the aisle wide. Have your coordinator hand them out and show guests where to stand. Your coordinator should give the cue to light up the sparklers when you are ready. This ensures that they are all lit at the same time and do not burn out before you get through the line. Be sure to get the right sparklers. They are the wedding sparklers that last longer. They burn gold! The 20” sparklers are a good length. The 36” sparklers are too long! Regular sparklers will often smoke up the photograph!

A magical night!

Congratulations Davina and Kevin!
