However, when it comes to doing a First Look photo, I have found that focusing more on the groom can yield beautiful and authentic results.

Knowing that I will spend more time with the bride throughout the wedding day, I prioritize capturing the groom's reactions during this intimate moment.

By doing so, I can create a captivating narrative that showcases his anticipation and excitement before seeing his soon-to-be spouse.

As a NYC wedding photographer, my goal is to document these special moments with sincerity and artistry.

By focusing on both the bride and groom in different aspects of their journey, I aim to create a comprehensive visual story that captures all of their emotions throughout their wedding day.

When the bride was approaching, I knew by the groom’s facial expression that the scene might be very emotional, that something big may happen.

I think I was very lucky to capture the heartwarming result.

I took a few shots of the whole situation and then waited for more before the couple started looking at each other’s eyes. “Finally, I got one I was dreaming about, this shot of love.”
