First Visits, Lasting Impressions

While we love returning to familiar venues and building relationships with the people who make them special, there’s something exciting about photographing a wedding somewhere completely new to us. As artists, a new venue brings fresh inspiration—the chance to explore new spaces, discover the best light, and see every corner with a fresh perspective.

Here are some of the beautiful venues we’ve had the opportunity to photograph for the first time.
