What is a First Look?

Oooohhhh...  The first look!  One of my favourite topics- and one that most regular people have never heard of.  If you are reading this blog, the chances are high that you are looking to tie the knot pretty soon and are enjoying all of the delights that wedding planning offers... There's also a pretty good chance that someone, likely your photographer (guilty, not guilty!) has asked if you will be scheduling your day to include a first look or not.  

Gender Reveal, Casey Fields- Chloe & Adam

You may be thinking these two gorgeous people look kinda familiar- and you'd be right!  I photographed Chloe & Adam's Backyard Wedding back in March this year on a beautiful sunny autumn day at her parents home in Croydon in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges.  This pair have been been living the blissed up newlywed life since then and as a result, I got a phone call from their friend Tarryn asking me if I would consider shooting a session of a different kind to my usual work.  

Backyard Wedding, Croydon South- Chloe & Adam

Chloe and I connected about a month before her wedding, she'd had (what all brides fear) a photographer pull out on her.  Being the super organised bride that she was, she turned to Facebook to fill the gap.  I offered my services and the rest as they say, is history.  She had a photographer friend shooting the wedding as well so, after a catch up before the big day, we collaborated to achieve some amazing photography for Chloe & Adam's wedding last Saturday!
