WHAT IS THIS FIRST LOOK THING?
Modern couples are ditching the “no see” rule for some fabulous portraits together before the ceremony.

Why? Well, many of today’s famous wedding customs can be traced back to superstition and folklore. Back in the day when arranged marriages were the norm, they were treated like business deals between two families. The concern was that if the groom met the bride before the wedding and found her  unappealing, then he would cancel the wedding.

My lovely couples surely aren’t worried about a runaway groom and, in fact, they stick their tongues out at age-old superstition. Sometimes I don’t even have a groom at all! Sometimes I even have two!

If you haven’t thought about seeing each other before the ceremony here is my list of top 10 reasons to consider it:

10. A VERY happy photographer.
9. Stress? What stress? You are not stressed … AHHHHH!
8. YOU get to see & hear your fiance’s reaction firsthand.
7. Tradition smadrition.
6. Cuts portrait time in half like a sharp machete.
5. Win the bet. You know they are going to cry first.
4. Twirl around for a proper entrance.
3. Lovely golden sunlight pictures together. Yum!
2. Party time starts right after the kiss!
1. It will drive your parents crazy!!!
