Lizzie and Greg dreamed of hosting their wedding on the stunning coast of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Living in the Washington D.C. area, they envisioned a destination event for their guests offering up the best the Cape has to offer during the summer. All their dreams aligned when their wedding day approached and they were gifted with a magical summer day and perfectly blue skies.
Read MoreAs part of their wedding experience Hayley & James chose to include a Signature Wedding Album to showcase some of their favorite images from their wedding day. I’m a huge advocate for printing your images and curating them into a printed heirloom so it was thrill to help Hayley and James design and create this album from their wedding day at the Hyannisport Club on Cape Cod.
Read MoreHayley & James had one of those wedding days that dreams are made of. It was the perfect day on the Cape with clear blue skies, puffy white clouds, exactly what they had dreamed of when they chose a summer wedding on Cape Cod at the Hyannisport Club.

Read MoreIn the fourth post of the DZP Wedding Planning Series, we'll be chatting about to plan stress free family formals. The success of family formals on the wedding day is in the planning. Often, the idea of photographing grouping after grouping can seem overwhelming, to you, your family and your photographer. While it may seem like this is an easy and quick part of the wedding day -- when you are working with larger groups of people things can quickly become confusing, complicated and down right stressful. Today I'll be sharing my best tips on how to make this time with your loved ones, easy, stress free and enjoyable.
Read MoreIn today's post, the second the DZP Planning series, we're talking all about the First Look. What is a First Look? Is right for your wedding day? How do you plan for a First Look? I'll be answering those questions and more -- let's get started.
The First Look is a period of the day where the Bride & Groom see each other for the first time before the ceremony. This is an intentional period of time set aside just for the couple. Often this is the first and last time you’ll be alone together on an otherwise very busy day. It’s an opportunity for you to express all this day means to you in a safe and private atmosphere.
With the hustle and bustle of the wedding day underway, the Ceremony does not provide much room to share heartfelt emotions. Often, the Groom may be standing in front of the aisle with all eyes on him watching for his reaction. That’s a lot of pressure and can often lead to a nervous face and stiff body language; not exactly the emotional response a Bride may have envisioned. Couples typically feel more at ease to share their feelings together for the first time alone rather than in front of all of their guests; a First Look provides the room and space to do just that.
