When I first met Sydney & Michael I knew they were going to be an easy couple to work with because they both appreciate my artistic & documentary style of wedding photography. Their true fun and whimsical personalities came out during our day trip to New Orleans for their French Quarter engagement photography session. Then...

I love the color palette Sydney & Michael chose - very striking.  Looks like an amazingly beautiful and fun time.  I got a little lump in my throat when I saw the photo of Sydney whiping away Michael's tears during the first look session.  How sweet!

“First Look: in a new light

Top 7 reasons to do the first look prior to the ceremony:
1. Your day will flow much easier, thus being more enjoyable and memorable.
2. Photographer will get the most creative and artistic wedding pictures possible because there’s simply more time.
3. You still get to surprise your groom in a private, romantic setting — all captured in pictures. It can be in a church, field, park, lake or dark alley.
4. After your special moments together, everyone (the couple, wedding party and family) is photographed while they’re most relaxed and fresh.
5. You won’t miss any part of your cocktail hour nor reception. Just kiss and head out to party! There’s no mad rush to the reception.
6. The wedding events happen naturally after the ceremony instead of the photographer bothering you to get the formal photos.
7. You’ll be more relaxed during the formal photos and the ceremony. The key to good photos is to be relaxed. Bottom line, you’ll love your photos more.

October 5, 2009 - 2:50 PM Christina Maloz Gary - After 8 1/2 years together, I married my husband on July 9, 2009, in Clearwater, Florida. After several "discussions" about our budget, I was finally able to convince my then fiance' to let me hire Aaron Hogan of Eye Wander Photo as our photographer for the big day. Let me just say that it was the best money that we spent. EVERYONE at my Florida destination wedding LOVED Aaron and his assistant. And our pictures are AMAZING! Since the wedding, Aaron and I have had several conversations. And, in every conversation, we go back to the same topic: how thankful my husband and I are that Aaron convinced us early on to take our pictures prior to the ceremony. You see, I have a touch of OCD. I am a touch organized and had already prepared myself for having things not go quite as planned on the day of my wedding. What I did not expect was that I would be running late! But I was running late for the "First Look" session that my husband, Aaron and I had arranged at the time of our booking. When I was through getting ready, my husband was in the bar of our hotel with his friends having a drink to "get the jitters out". We decided (through Aaron) to meet there, so Aaron cleared the rest of the guys away before I came down. My husband was waiting for me at the hotel bar (it's more romantic than it sounds, really). I tapped his shoulder. He turned to look at his future wife for the first time, and our moment then and for the few minutes after that will lie in my heart forever. It was the first time that day that either of us had a chance to just relax and take it all in. We were about to become husband and wife, and we had waited so long for this day. The one fear that I had from the beginning was that it would all be just so surreal. And, honestly, everything after the ceremony truly is a blur. But I was "there" for everything prior to that, which I owe completely to Aaron and his advice about our "First Look".

October 15, 2009 - 3:53 PM Sydney Hargroder - I agree totally. For just a few minutes we were able to just be excited together. Everything else is a blur. That is not only a great photo moment, but more so, a great memory. I will never forget that moment. I barely remember the first dance, the cake, or the ceremony, let alone walking down the aisle, but I will always remember his smile during the first look.
