First Glimpse, Beach-Style

Trevor and I decided to see each other before the wedding for photographs. By doing so, we could maximize our time with guests and not miss a significant portion of our cocktail hour. (I was especially excited about making it to the reception in time to taste a mini shrimp and grits hors d’oeuvre that we dreamed up with the venue chef – a girl has her priorities!).  As soon as we made the decision to do a “first glimpse” session, my favorite thing about it very quickly became how much it was going to calm my nerves before the ceremony, and it did exactly that. Every couple is different, but for the two of us, being able to have a half-hour to ourselves before the ceremony was a brilliant way to start the wedding. By the time we made it to the actual ceremony, we were calm, cool, and ready to enjoy every minute of it. Maybe I would’ve been as calm, happy, and excited during our ceremony without a beach makeout beforehand, but I’m so glad we saw fit to schedule it in. :-)
