quite often, a wedding photographers main task before the ceremony is to photograph the bride and her bridesmaids enjoying the morning together at a salon.  the guys might grab a bite to eat, or play a round of golf, maybe just meet up at the hotel to get ready an hour before the ceremony.  for our future grooms and groomsmen, we offer this suggestion: get groomed.  recently, we have started wedding days with the gentlemen getting a trim and straight razor shave.  not only does it make for a close shave, but also offers an opportunity for the guys to hang out together for some laughs and storytelling.  i can offer two locations that provide a great service: nichols barbershop, 2615 20th street, rockford, illinois, and studio 95 barbers, 3020 reflection drive, naperville, illinois.  we have linked both of their websites for more information and we do strongly suggest making an appointment for a group.  we hope to see more gentlemen getting well groomed this year.  enjoy.
