About our fashion art images---
These are images that are shot on a day outside of your wedding date and feature you in your wedding dress, or both you and your fiancee together in your wedding attire.  Chris’ mother was a model back in the 1940s and 1950s.  She and Chris’ father have been married for over 50 years, and she is now in her 70s.  Back when they were married, Mrs. First had images shot by one of the fashion photographers she worked with.  To this day, when one of the grandchildren wants to see what Mrs. First was like in her youth, these photographs of her in her wedding dress are the images that she shows everyone.  They are a snapshot in time and will be a family heirloom.  This was the inspiration for our Fashion Art photography.  This is a lasting memory of who you are at this time in your life.  It is something that will be cherished for generations to come.
