Are you considering a first look for your wedding day?👀

Let me tell you why you definitely SHOULD do one!

But first, what even is a first look? It is when the couple sees each other before the wedding ceremony and their are SO many benefits to why this is a positive for your special day.

And I have been a wedding photographer for 12 years, so I promise I know what I am talking about.

The biggest benefit to having a first look is that it is going to simplify your day and your timeline soooo much!

This is because you will be able to do all of your couples and wedding party portraits before your ceremony even happens.

So when your ceremony is over all you have to worry about are family photos and then you get to head to your cocktail hour and mingle with your guests!

Although, simplifying your timeline is the number one benefit of a first look there are so many others...

1. You get to have a private moment with just the two of you when you see each other for the first time on your wedding day.

2. A first look is also a great time to do your private vows to one another.

3. You get to actually attend your cocktail hour and spend more time with your guests.

4. The majority of your photos will already be done before the ceremony.

The benefits go on and on!

So tell me, if you are planning your wedding are you considering a first look? Or if you are already married, did you do one at your wedding? Sound off in the comments!👇🏻

💙 Happy 12 Years Michelle A Photography 💙

12 years ago today in the comfort of my blue childhood bedroom complete with dolphin poster...I registered as a business!

That is kind of a crazy statement, I was only 21 years old, still living at home and was quite literally surrounded by my childhood dolphin collectibles and stuffed animals.🐬

Now 12 years later, I am a full time wedding and family photographer. I have been featured on blogs and in magazines. Won 2nd place for a photo of mine in a worldwide contest and photographed 100’s of couples wedding days!

If lil 21 year old me could see me now, she would probably be in disbelief.

So today, I celebrate 12 years of continuing to do this career that I love AND being so very grateful to everyone who has supported me through out this journey!🥰
