Colorado Springs Wedding First Look

Created by Ali Coşkunfrom the Noun Project

Earlier this summer, I had the opportunity to work with Kristina Lynn Photography & Design for a gorgeous wedding at The Sunbird, here in Colorado Springs. Before we headed to the ceremony and reception, our beautiful bride Jayne got to surprise her husband-to-be Mike with a “first look.” I absolutely ADORE when couples do first looks. Why? For two reasons. For one, it’s so intimate and private; it gives the groom the opportunity to really appreciate the beauty of his bride in her dress, and I feel it’s much more emotional. For two, it saves on time! We were able to knock out all of the bridal party and formal/creative photos prior to the ceremony, which meant that once we got to the venue, Mike + Jayne could put 100% of their focus on getting married and being with their friends and family, who flew in from all over the country to be there for their special day.

This First Look was so amazing, I *loved* Mike’s reaction!! Enjoy! xoxo
