You all may know I LOVE the first look part of the day. Why? Because it&#8217;s a moment for just the two of you. One where we slow things down (which can be a big contrast to what can often be a hectic wedding day). We carve out a few minutes for just you two, alone, to say hello. It&#8217;s a moment that&#8217;s always charged with energy and excitement, often tears, and lots of love. But even when a couple chooses to save that big first look for the aisle we can still give you a moment to connect without actually seeing each other. For Heather &amp; Cody we created that moment at the train station, where Heather got to walk down the staircase to her groom, give him a hug and even hold his hand without ever revealing her bridal look.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18966 size-full\"
