This bride & Groom wanted to talk to each other before the ceremony. The catch was to do so without seeing each other.
They decided to do this with a door between each other. They reached out and held hands as their big moment was fast approaching. They spoke briefly.
Then the Groom said to his Bride, "Lets Pray", and they did.
There were a lot of people to the side and behind me, talking and watching. Everyone got very quiet. There were a lot of teary eyed people watching when the amens were said.
It was a very tender, loving and special moment for everyone that saw this.
I got the shot for them.

In my meetings with a couple before I officate a wedding, I encourage them to get the pictures done before the ceremony. The biggest ojection I get is about seeing the bride before the ceremony, I then remond them that it is their wedding not their mother's. Please do not misunderstand, I am for tradition when it has a purpose and meaning, but so many people do not know why that tradition is.
This is a great picture and an even better story to match.

My daughter got married recently and we took shots before the ceremony. The picture of her walking up behind him for the first look was priceless. She was so excited for him to see her in the dress but wasn't nervous about the ceremony. It is everyone's favorite shot. I would always suggest that private moment before the ceremony.

And Jay, thanks for the good cry. I needed it.

Priceless. This will be the picture they will cherish most when they look at their wedding photos on their 40th anniversary.

Alright John, you got me going. I would love to hear the reason behind the tradition of the bride an groom not seeing each other right before the service. I have always been curious about that one amongst others.
