Photo of the Day: “When it comes to doing a First Look photo, I always focus more on the groom because I know I will spend more time with the bride at the wedding anyway,” Matthew Sowa NYC Wedding Photographer explains. “When the bride was approaching, I knew by the groom’s facial expression that the scene might be very emotional, that something big may happen here. I think I was very lucky to capture the heartwarming result.”⁠
