Before Matt and Meredith’s wedding day, they decided to add a First-Glimpse to Meredith’s traditional bridal portrait session at Duke Gardens in Durham, North Carolina.  This is the first time I had the privilege of shooting a First-Glimpse prior to the actual wedding day and I have to say it was perfection.  It allowed for Matt and Meredith to have quiet moments alone without the pressure of the wedding day and allowed for plenty of time for couple portraits.  The best part was on the wedding day – while we did take additional portraits- there was no pressure to stick to a hectic timeline.
