Romantic First Look in Mystic, Connecticut

Emily and Charlie knew they wanted to do a first look before their ceremony to calm nerves and get one final kiss before tying the knot. “My mother drove up to Mystic, Connecticut, every weekend to scout the perfect location,” says Emily. “I will never forget my cathedral veil flowing in the wind as I walked past the lighthouse toward Charlie, smelling the salt water in the air and seeing the groomsmen standing on the coastal boulders trying to get a closer look.”
