Andrea & Brian were getting ready at the Staybridge Suites - a lovely riverfront hotel across the river from the Interfaith Chapel. We found a perfect spot for Andrea & Brian's first look - I got really excited when we walked out of the hotel and I saw the view! I have to admit I really like when couples choose to do the first look before the ceremony, since they get to spend a few minutes alone and that eases the tension &
