The Adoration: There's often debate over whether or not a couple should see each other before their wedding, but when they do, it's often one of my favorite moments as a photographer. The couple is able to revel in the moment, connect with each other in the midst of their busy day, and get great pictures to boot! Kevin, the groom from one of our recent Real Weddings, summed his experience up perfectly in the following quote, and you can see how true his words are in the first set of photos below.

"...it was the moment I turned up and looked to the top of the staircase of the hotel and saw Genesis turn the corner and began descending down toward me. The sight of her took my breath away… I was able to see clearly now….I reached out to her and brought into my arms…as if to never her go…if I were to experience romance, then that 60 seconds was to me the most romantic time of my life as a deep peace flowed through me at that very moment."
