First looks: to do them, or not to do them?! Our a

First looks: to do them, or not to do them?! Our advice — 1st it’s your decision and yours alone, but RESEARCH THEM. Most people don’t know where the tradition of not seeing one another originated (hint: arranged marriages). BUT— this ‘not seeing one another tradition’ has evolved into a long-standing practice, that many still carry on today in our culture (especially in the south.) And if you don’t like the idea of a first look — that is 100% ok! It’s not for everyone. I hated the idea the first time I heard about them, but I’m so thankful Jaison and I did one at our wedding. We did want to use this post for education & insight, before you decide if a first look is right for you or not. A first look doesn’t take away from that special moment of walking down the aisle or the meaningfulness of it. I promise. It DOES allow for you to hang out with your soon to be spouse for majority of the day, instead of being apart until the ceremony. Allowing you to hang out as one big group with all of your people, which is usually when we get the best photos, because you aren’t tired from all of the day’s excitement. It does allow for you to talk and hug right when you see one another & most importantly to let the nerves settle. And it doesn’t keep your guests waiting a long time after your ceremony, allowing you to get to the reception quicker, and spend more time with your family & friends. Now when making a pros and cons list, I would usually list the cons here. But I can’t really think of any when it comes to doing a first look; other than it isn’t as traditional. For all of those who choose not to do one— we support you! Your wedding will be just as perfect & you’ll be JUST as married. But we did want to provide a little insight before you make the decision about which route is best for you! Feel free to ask us any questions about all things first look related!

Thank you for keeping us safe & dedicating your life to the service of others. We appreciate you today, and EVERY day!

@_hearditfromhannah_ we could not be more impressed with your design of Clara’s bedroom, we love EVERY single part— down to the little hidden magic fairy door. Scroll to the end to see how cute this hidden detail is! This is literally a little girl’s dream (and a 30 year-olds too 🤩)

We’ve photographed so many milestones for this family and these may have been my favorite pictures yet! Charlee girl is 6 months but it’s literally feels like yesterday that I was taking engagement pictures for her parents at Wildwood Park. But I blinked and four years have passed by. HOW?! — can’t wait until our next photo date with the Cash family!

We have talked about opening up select dates for studio-style minis in May— who’s interested if we do?!

A friend of mine recently encouraged us to share more of our personal photos + life behind the lens on our feed... so I’m going for it! In our spare time we love being outside in our backyard— specifically we love gardening, grilling, playing outdoor games, having friends over (🤞🏼 hoping this can happen again soon as things become more flexible/less risky with covid). Cannot wait for our yard to be green and beautiful again. I have tulips already popping up that I found for $1 at Lowe’s last year after they bloomed— what a STEAL. Who else is a fan of all the discount plants?! I get so excited to bring the really sad droopy plants back to life each year. My best hydrangeas come from a $3 hydrangea bush I bought years ago on sale.. it was so bad that someone laughed at me in the checkout line for buying it 😅😂 — I wish I could send that man pics of her now 🤩
