welcome to my journal

My number one question I get asked all the time, should we do a first look? I can easily say I’ve never had a couple say they regret it! First looks have more pros than cons and let me tell you why. 

It’s the best time to get all the nerves out before the ceremony and have that one-on-one time with each other. 

Great time to capture you exchanging gifts/letters to each other.

Saves a lot of time, especially if you have a huge bridal party or have a winter wedding.

Most of your photos will be done before the ceremony and you’ll be able to enjoy cocktail hour with your guests. 

You’ll receive more photos and the day won’t feel so rushed!

Thinking your groom won’t have a reaction when you walk down the aisle? Don’t you worry! I promise he will, tears and all! 🙂

Don’t get me wrong, I do love traditional weddings too! So if you decide not to do a first look it’s no big deal! I’ll create a timeline that still will give you amazing photos with the best lighting! Also, first looks arint just for the bride and groom. I’ve captured first looks with dads, bridesmaids, and even with the groomsmen! (my favorite) Here are a few of my favorites!
