What staging would you like for your First Look?
There are lots of different possibilities when it comes to staging your first look, some of which are site specific. Here are a few popular options:
- Standing around a corner or door from each other.
- One person facing away and the other walking up to them.
- Back-to-back (sometimes people exchange letters and hold hands during this time).

Special Circumstances
Please specify any special circumstances for the shots listed above (i.e. divorces, separate parent groupings, special needs, grandparents who would prefer not to walk very far).
Additional Groupings
If there are any additional groupings you'd like photos of during your formal portrait session, I would be happy to take them for you. I encourage you not to get too carried away with the list, as I will be shooting constantly and will be sure to get a wide variety of groupings and shots throughout the day. As an artist, it is important to be able to stay creative and shoot candidly rather than being tied to a long list of shots -- plus this allows you to spend more time enjoying your wedding rather than holding a pose! That being said, this is your wedding and you might have special photo requests that are important to you. Please list them below.
