Katherine and Jeff First Look

"We decided to do the first look because of a few reasons," Katherine explains. "We wanted to be able to take our pictures before the ceremony so we could go straight from the ceremony to the reception, we also did not want to wait all day to see each other and we wanted to be able to spend time together with the entire wedding party and our families before the wedding."
