The approach

It was an emotional first look, as one groom approached his groom-to-be at a park in Chilton, WI. After the first look, the couple's family gathered for family photos at the park, and then photos of the couple, before heading to the ceremony and reception at the Neighborhood Pub and Grill in Chilton. Seeing one another with a first looks allows us to do photos prior to the ceremony so couples can compress the day by having the ceremony and reception time closer together. And, having the requisite photos out of the way, couples can focus more on guests. Depending on timing, location and time of year, it may also allow for better lighting.

Location: W2348 Short Rd, Chilton, WI.
