The First Look

Typically on wedding days we jump into capturing the details that make the day what it is. But this Columbia, SC wedding day started with Andrew and Iris’s first look. Iris stepped behind Andrew for him to turn around and give an endearing reaction. He was all smiles when he got to see Iris in her mother’s repurposed wedding dress by Brianna Etheridge. Iris still looked flawless during this moment even as she shed tears for the love of her life.

The Vows

Something I really love that couples do during their first look is exchange vows. It gives them a more intimate setting to express their love. Andrew and Iris exchanged their vows during their first look before jumping into their formal portraits.
