After my semi-viral Reel on this very topic took off, I felt it needed a permanent place here in the Journal.

No. 1 | Embrace!

Hug and squeeze, wrap your arms around each other, really soak in that first kiss as a married couple!

No. 2 | Cheer!

As you exit, throw your hands in the air and join in with your guests who are undoubtedly cheering you on. This energy is so fun to capture!

No. 3 | Encore!

One more time…I always try to get my couples to kiss again bout halfway down the aisle. All of your friends and family are in the background with big smiles and happy hearts, this is a beautiful second “first kiss” shot (because it’s nice to have options and sometimes you don’t want to frame the shot with your officiant directly behind you). This also allows for one more moment to pause to acknowledge this time, the day flies by so any memories that I can help create, I am happy to suggest!
