A Heartfelt First Look

Cuddles with Grandkids. Lively dancing into the night. A spectacular sparkler send off. These are just a few of the wonderful moments from the joyful wedding celebration of Lori and Jason! The spirit of the day was truly a reflection of the couple themselves; so loving and so much fun! It was such a pleasure to photograph the enjoyment and affection of the Couple’s special day, surrounded by their beloved Friends and Family!

One of my favorite moments that I was honored to capture was Lori’s First Look with her 92 year old Father, Stanley. He was so kind and proud of his Daughter. When Lori gingerly put her hand upon her Father’s shoulder, and he turned around for his first glimpse of her dawning a stunning jeweled, mermaid wedding gown, his eyes widened with a glisten. Smiling at his radiant Daughter, she lovingly greeted him with a kiss on the cheek. As Lori tenderly touched his tie and suit lapel, they quietly chatted, embracing each other and enjoying this peaceful moment together, side by side.

Luckily, Bobby had filmed the entirety of their heartfelt interactions on video! We were able to surprise Lori with this additional footage after some quick, late evening editing! When she viewed the clip the next morning, I’ll never forget her response:

“OMG! Sobbing! Thank you so much! I wasn't expecting this. It made my day, I love love love it!

Thank you for making this memory!”

It warmed my heart to be able to give her this touching moment with her Father to cherish always, especially in multiple formats. To have the distinct privilege of providing couples and their families with photos and videos of these profoundly candid and happy ‘moments in time’ is why I feel so much passion for photography!

Thank you again, Lori and Jason, for making this experience so very special for us too, and for trusting us to be part of celebrating your love for each other. Congratulations!

Warmest Wishes,

Bobby & Isolda
