@@jschultzf3 We have seen that done as well. The groom had a very mixed reaction but its whatever you guys want there are just better ways of doing it that will give you more time with one another.
Hmm... I see where you are going with it, but I wouldn’t trade the look on his face as he first saw me walking down the isle. I didn’t think of his stress though 🤣 I would consider doing bridesmaid pics before though and the men could do their photos... Great topic for lots of discussion 💕
Pregnancy and Postpartum TV it really does generate a lot of discussion. The best thing is you to decide what is best for you and your day. We prefer a first look but it’s up to the couple. We just want to give them the information so they can make a decision
I never considered the first look as an opportunity for getting more wedding day pictures! Good point! I also definitely agree that it removes anxiety. It makes everyone feel more at ease. All of my couples that have done a first look have seemed so much more relaxed after that moment.
Great point that having it before the ceremony really takes the stress out of the day. There's a lot to worry about on your wedding day but down the road those pictures will truly be the best memories you have of it. Cheers!
My daughter and her groom exchanged special gifts during their first look images. The photographer made it a very private and intimate moment before the ceremony. It calmed their nerves and gave them one last moment together before the big show. Great tips Meredith!
Love this girl! My Fiance and I were just talking about this! We would totally love to have a moment before the wedding so we can just enjoy the wedding and not have to worry about taking staged pictures after the ceremony!
That is so exciting!!! I am so happy you guys are considering this. It will make your wedding day so much better. How are the rest of wedding plans going?
Those are some great tips Meredith! Yes very true with removing anxiety and stress, extra pictures with the spouse, and overall smoothness of the ceremony. Well said Meredith!😊👍
I chuckled when you said, "Sometimes we can't predict the weather..." In MOST cases, San Diego is predictable......sunny and clear. So, besides the crazy taxes and high prices, we got that going on...LOL!!! Where are you located? Great tips for brides to be! : )
Meredith Ryncarz Photography: I am not sure if you do graduation photos or not. I feel like many parents aren’t sure what they need to be looking for or how much money they should be spending. It would also be interesting to know about birth photography. Perhaps you could do a collaboration with another photographer if that is not a service you provide. Your content is amazing and your passion for photography really shines throughout your videos. I enjoy the topics you present, and hope you continue to grow. This is an educational (and fun) channel.
@@liveraccivonkaufman6161 Thank you so much. I really appreciate that suggestion. Birth photography is a very specialized field and I can see what I can do. Thank you again
That is all true. It should be a stress-free day for the couple. Unfortunately, tradition still takes precedence for so many people. Great video Meredith.
Great video, great tips! I have been shooting since 2003 and have been doing first looks the whole time! I'd say that 60% of our brides do them, and the results are always soooo touching!
We had a first look. Very uncommon in the UK but I'd lived in the US for a while! It meant our day started off relaxed and fun and left the time after the ceremony to spend with our guests and eat! Totally recommend it. Great tips
YES! We did a first look and I'm glad we did! In fact, it's the first wedding photo we decided to frame and hang in our home. Great advice for brides and grooms!
I really like your tips there Meredith !! 4:00 Get the picture done before the ceremony so your guest doesn't need to wait for so long. I will tell my fiance about this.
We didn't do a first look, but that's because my husband surprised me with our proposal and then five minutes later, surprised me with our wedding! It was awesome!
Yes, we did the first look! And we're so glad we did!! Not so much for the importance of photographs but we wanted the moment to be intimate and personal which it was :) Great video!!!
We did a first look because we took pics before the ceremony since it was a sunset wedding. But definitely agree with the tips you shared in this video. They were true for us!
We did not do a first look but we really didn’t know about it either. In hindsight, I can definitely see why having one would have been beneficial! Your tips & reasons for having one were spot on! Thanks for sharing! 💖☺️
Thanks for sharing this. My daughter is getting married in November and wants a first look. I was unsure because of sentimental value, but these are good ideas.
Heather... Go for it. Encourage her to do a first look. It really makes a difference. Share this video if it will help her to make a decision. let me know how it goes.
This was such a great video!! I wish I did a first look on my wedding day. I’ve seen so many people have a first look and I see how beautiful it is. I will always tell my friends and family to make this happen on their special day! Happily subscribed! ☺️
Naturally Lizzie Lizzie thank you so much. First looks are the way to go. We really encourage them to every one of our brides. Thank you for taking the time to join. We really appreciate every single subscriber
Love how you look at this and how it is so embracing of the whole entire day. Stress free is the best ... :) I bet you help bring that to people and then some.... and that is a gift and a blessing. xx ~Elizabeth
Elizabeth it is very true... That is the number one thing that is said about our service is that it brings a sense of calm to the chaotic day. Thank you so much for watching
