{The first look} by Suddenly Inspired

I recently wrote about "the first look" on the Long Beach Wedding Collective blog. I've had the opportunity to shoot wedding portraits with the couple before and after the ceremony (and as a disclaimer I waited until after the ceremony for my wedding but was not fully aware of why I should do it before & break tradition).

I was excited to come across Lindye Galloway (who I met & shot at the FTP workshop last year) and Aimee Grover (A fellow SoCal wedding photographer) recent Suddenly Inspired video. Both of these ladies in the below video are recent brides and are now a wedding planner & photographer. They have seen the perspective from both sides and see the benefits of "the first look". So let me present you with their reason why you should do a "first look"...(btw, could they be more adorable?)
