What is a first look?

Traditionally the bride and groom don’t see each other until on their wedding day until the ceremony. This new trend is where they see each other prior to the ceremony. And some couples have no freaking idea if they want a first look or not, and ask for my opinion. So here are a few pros and cons that I’ve concluded on what I think about a first look.

The Gili islands are just a boat ride away from Bali. We took a speedboat, so the trip was about 2.5 hours. There are three islands, and we went to Gili Tragawan.

You want to look better in those guest reception photos when the wedding photographer (like me) come around? Or when you post a picture on Facebook of you and your girls at a conference? Well, I am about to give you some of my photographer secrets on posing!

Being a Lake Tahoe wedding photographer is one of the best jobs there is because Lake Tahoe is the perfect location for a wedding so there is so many stunning locations! It is full of amazing views from any venue that you decide with options of mountains, water, and trees. There is so much beauty in just nature alone. I’ve compiled a list of a few of my favorite wedding venues in the Tahoe area.

I am travel so much. I’ve been to 24 countries and counting. When planning a week-long trip to somewhere, you haven’t been to can be stressful. Imagine planning six entire weeks between ten countries all by yourself. It can be crazy about what apps to use and where to start. These are some of the travel apps I find the most useful for traveling!

Cherish and Dave had such great attitudes throughout their day. There were a lot of obstacles happening like the party bus breaking down, but guests and family members were to the rescue shuttling us all in their jeeps and trucks! My favorite part of the wedding day is we had Cherish, Dave and the wedding party in the middle of the dance floor and they popped a bottle of champagne right then and there. These are my type of people! If you have an idea and think it is totally crazy and out there, I am up for a challenge!!

Did you know word that word of mouth recommendations result in five times more sales over paid media marketing, AND people are 90% more likely to trust and buy from a brand recommended by a friend?

A list of 5 things to tackle when you get engaged

The first monkey we saw, I gave Kevin my phone to take a picture of me standing in front and before I knew it jumped onto my shoulder! But it doesn’t stop there. It grabbed my boob!!!!! Oh and then monkeys jumped on Kevin’s head as we took a selfie and got a bit frisky! When you scroll through the pictures, you’ll see what I mean! Another exciting thing that happened is a mama monkey BIT ME!!!

I absolutely love traveling for weddings, it is mixing two of my favorite things. Travel and weddings. On top of that, to photograph a wedding with Danielle!! (If you don’t know who she is, you should stalk me some more)

One of the best things about Canada in the summer is the never-ending sunlight. So running out of sunlight while photographing a wedding in Canada is never the issue.
