And the glances you took, Took hold of you: First Look

I love the idea of a first look and knew that we would have one before heading to the ceremony. We have been a couple, known one another, and seen each other for over 7 years, I really could not imagine "hiding" from hubs on the wedding day, up until I walked down the aisle. Plus, we were at the same hotel and were taking the same transportation to the ceremony, so why not see each other that morning?


Sarah found a good area of the hotel's garden/front lawn. There was a cement path that cut through the grass so she had hubs stand at one end, and then I would walk towards him. Looking at the above photo makes me think that hubs went to modeling school.


As I started walking towards him, I wanted to hurry and get there quickly (family and the bridal party were watching us) but I also wanted to take my time and soak everything in.


I waved at the family and bridal party because they had said something or were taking photos. I think this was the first time they had ever hear of and seen a first look.


Palm trees as a back drop is my favorite. I also love the look of the path cutting through the grass. It is kind of representative of our path as a couple, long, winding, but we got there :)


I finally reached him (and didn't trip on my dress)!


I kinda gave him a hard slap on the back, not the sweetest of greetings, but I was excited.


Yay :)

So pretty...I love how she caught you with several pics walking along the path and him in the forefront. So romantic and such a great way to tell the story. We will also have our family off to the side able to watch us as we have our first look and like you, most of them have never seen one before or been a part of it so I am excited about it. Can't wait til ours in just a few more months! You had a great location for the first time you got to see him :)
