When Christina & Rob picked November 28th as their wedding date they couldn’t of ever imagined that it would be such a beautiful day and that we’d be able to spend so much time taking photos outside. With it being a ‘winter’ wedding we had to deal with the fact that the days are short and with the skies often being overcast, quality light is even shorter. So wisely they decided to see each other prior to their ceremony and take the bulk of their ‘portraits’ before officially walking down the aisle. Though this is a break in ‘tradition,’ it’s a strategy that is becoming more and more common for a number of reasons. Besides being able to take advantage of the light, it seems like the couples we work with who do this are often more relaxed during their ceremony and therefore able to take more of the experience in without having nerves cloud things quite so much, they also typically are able to transition into the reception with their guests much sooner. Even though Christina & Rob first saw one another prior to the ceremony, they still made a moment of their first meeting. We got some really great shots at the Union, and although the chairs had all been put away for the season, the blue skies more than made up for the absent color that they bring. We then headed over to the capitol before making our way back to the church. After the ceremony they made a stop at the Old Fashion, where they had their first ‘date’ before heading to Nakoma Country Club for their wine themed reception. I truly enjoyed documenting their day and we are really proud of all the great moments and images we’ve collected for them. Below is a preview of some of their proofs. - Derrick
