We did the first look on the dock of the house that overlooks the beautiful historic St. Augustine skyline. I mean…with a view like that, how could ya not?! You could feel the suspense and anticipation as John waited for Alessandra to tap him on the shoulder. When she did, it was an emotional private moment between the two, as they saw each other for the first time that day as husband and wife.
