Santa Monica Wedding Photographer - Jen & PJ's First Look

I was thrilled when Jen and PJ agreed to having a First Look before their wedding vows at the altar and delighted we captured this moment at one of my favourite places in SoCal, along the California Bluffs in Santa Monica. The love between this couple is truly overwhelming to behold. If you were ever considering a First Look, these images may just swing your decision. Formal portraits at the Bluffs and Church, the Ceremony and the Reception to follow. Click Wedding under Categories of all of Jen & PJ's images as they are being shared here.

If you've been considering a First Look before your wedding, these images may just be the influence you need. Those private moments before the ceremony in which to take a breathe and share your excitement with your spouse to be are priceless. Your emotions may be a little more in check than you would experience at the end of the aisle in front of all your friends and family. It certainly makes for incredible imagery and as you can see from Jen and PJ's faces and that magic of the traditional first look at the altar is only intensified.

Watch this space for portraits by the Bluffs, the Ceremony and the Reception! Phew.. we have so many hundreds, thousands of glorious images.
