A Chill(y) Ceremony, and the Best First Look

The best moments are the ones you frame, but the difficult ones matter, too. In our real weddings series, we ask couples to share their wedding highs and lows.

BEST WEDDING MOMENT


Photography by @kaykroshus.

“The most incredible part of the wedding day was our first look. It let us spend a minute just being us, amazed with each other and taking in a slow moment on a crazy day. It took away all of the jitters and let us enjoy the ceremony and reception.”

WORST WEDDING MOMENT


“The weather was beautiful, day after beautiful day, before the wedding. But of course, the day of the wedding was freezing. It was a little disheartening but everyone was a good sport about it, pulled the blanket off their bed, and came back out to the ceremony.”
