‘First Look’ from Daria Bishop Photography
We are so excited about today’s Real Wedding! It’s kind of a double-hitter from our Little Black Book …
Daria and Andy Bishop have been so good to us by sending lots of real Style Me Pretty “style” weddings. You’re going to be seeing lots more from them here on the LBB blog!! But, we’d be remiss if we didn’t start off with their photos from Amanda & Jeff’s wedding. Amanda and Jeff Herzberger of Orchard Cove Photography had their own gorgeous wedding this past July at Shelburne Farms, Vermont. And when one great photographer weds, who does she ask to capture her special day? Why, another Little Black Book member, of course. Enter, Daria Bishop Photography!
Amanda and Jeff’s first look photographs …
Seeing this hug … well, I honestly can’t imagine a more magical moment …
First looks … to see each other on this momentous day, before that walk down the aisle …
Now, you know that one of the questions you too will face when planning your wedding photography is whether you do (or don’t) want to have that first look alone. Seeing each other before the wedding is a hot topic. Some couples are vehemently opposed to it while others have now started thinking, hmmmm, well, maybe…?
Before you decide, talk to your photographer and really listen to the pros and cons. Talk to other couples who have taken the high road and decided to experience this moment privately. I seriously doubt that you will find many, if any, who wish they hadn’t.
And now, more from Amanda and Jeff’s wedding …
I love the shades of blue they used … such a natural pop of color. And the Vermont countryside … wow!
Talk about a pop of color. How much better does it get than beside a red barn?
It just looks like a wonderful location, time of year … lovely people … everything a wedding should be!
Congratulations to Amanda and Jeff from all of us at Style Me Pretty!
And a huge thank-you to Daria and Andy Bishop, today’s Little Black Book featured photographers. Your passion for wedding photography is soooooo evident in your work !
Visit their website and blog to see tons of weddings with tons of special details that will truly inspire you.
Amanda wrote a tremendous post about the “first look” photography decision on her blog at Orchard Cove Photography. If you are on the fence … at all … you really need to read it!
So exciting to see our wedding featured - thank you! Daria & Andy did a fabulous job and of course photography was absolutely THE most important thing for us :)
PS - We LOVED doing the first look and wouldn't have changed it for anything. Once the ceremony started the day became a bit of a blur but those moments alone with Jeff were SO special and are among my favorites of the day.
Awhile back I used Daria & Andy's beautiful pictures to discuss why we loved doing the first look and also some pros and cons to it - http://orchardcovephotography.blogspot.com/2008/08/first-look.html
most beautiful bride ever!!! Amazing job Daria ;)
I love your bridesmaid dresses - can you tell me where you got them? Aand your wedding just looks like it was so much fun without trying (which I know is not true). Would love to see more pictures
What a gorgeous location - the colors are stunning.
Thank you! We got our bridesmaid's dresses from Vineyard Vines - a nice inexpensive (and preppy!!) option.

Amanda sent us a little more information that we wanted to share with you ... Her great PINK shoes were from French Sole New York. She sewed Jeff's belt!! Her dress was custom-made by Debbie at Sewly Yours. Groom & Groomsmen wore Brooks Brothers. Strider's dog collar was purchased at upcountryinc.com.
Catering was provided by Let's Pretend Catering, Invitations by Ink Ink Invitations and Flowers by In Full Bloom.
Stunning bride, groom and dog. Daria Bishop is an amazing photographer and did an amazing job! ;-)
love, love, love!
Amanda
thanks for the bridesmaid info. By the way, I contacted you awhile ago about my wedding in May and you were booked but so sweetly made recommendations. I have booked Rob Strong and am thrilled! Thank you for being so nice to give great references
