While the bridal party is important and should be included in the couple's wedding album, I think the focus should be on the bride and groom..and to make sure the most creative photos are about that.Brandi Reiland | Soireehttp://www.soiree-boise.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590441893914805288.post-87033009238507365252011-05-27T05:49:05.486-06:002011-05-27T05:49:05.486-06:00While I can't deny the authenticity of seeing ...While I can't deny the authenticity of seeing each other for the first time walking down the aisle, I definitely prefer the pre-ceremony first look, from a timing standpoint. Most couples don't realize at first that not only would they have to do their creative portraits after the ceremony if they don't do a first look beforehand, but also any family formals that they want with both of them in the picture since they decided not to see each other before the ceremony. That just adds to the amount of time they are taken away from the cocktail hour and also cuts down the time they usually want to spend on the creative portraits as well.Greg Hoskinshttp://www.greghoskins.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590441893914805288.post-34024143516575894052011-05-26T12:36:09.336-06:002011-05-26T12:36:09.336-06:00Miranda- I so agree with the idea of being able to...Miranda- I so agree with the idea of being able to spend as much time as possible with your friends and family! They came to see you and your groom, and even though they always appreciate the great party you've hosted for them, I do just feel like there is an air of "something's missing" when the bride and groom aren't there for a while. Not to mention, the day goes by SO fast, I say if you can have the best of both worlds- all of your photos plus spending as much time as possible amongst your guests, the better!<br /><br />Tana- I completely agree!Brandi Reiland | Soireehttp://www.soiree-boise.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590441893914805288.post-64035822473236048762011-05-26T11:39:41.405-06:002011-05-26T11:39:41.405-06:00I had to seriously be talked into seeing my groom ...I had to seriously be talked into seeing my groom before the wedding, but am really happy about my decision. Not only will it allow for us to be more relaxed before the ceremony, but we will have time to take a ton of photos with each other and our wedding party. We won't have to miss out on any of the incredible party we have been planning, neither will our attendants, and even our family will have their photos done before the party is started. I am so excited to be able to spend my entire reception with my new hubby anjoying the time with our guests!!!Miranda Juzanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590441893914805288.post-981295771721327212011-05-25T22:33:16.162-06:002011-05-25T22:33:16.162-06:00I've met Jose V and value his organic approach...I've met Jose V and value his organic approach. I lean toward the first look though, so the couple can go right to their reception. Unless they're willing to spend a bit of time during their party escaping for some evening portraits. I read the link and agree with JV's three things that complete a wedding:loving family, great style and a good band!Tanahttp://www.tanaphotography.comnoreply@blogger.com
