![Let's talk about having a FIRST LOOK!!
This is the magical moment when you see each other for the first time on your wedding day. Yes, it's a little bit of a staged moment, but I assure you the feels will be 💯% real!
✨
Just published on the blog is my in-depth take on first looks.
❇️ The advantages of having a first look
1️. A first look allows you to have more photos and a backup plan
2️. You will be able to get family formals done before the ceremony
3️. Alleviates nerves and allows you to center yourselves in each other
4️. Hair and makeup is freshly applied and everyone looks their best
5️. The first look allows you to steal away some alone time – when you need it most
❇️ Disadvantages of having a first look
1️. It’s less traditional
2️. It may involve an earlier start time
3️. You may need hair and makeup to stay longer for touch-ups
4️. There is a risk guests could see you during the first look as they arrive
5️. Lighting isn’t ideal during the time the first look normally happens

It was a big Italian church wedding, with reception at the Highlands Country Club. It was such an amazing day, with hundreds of photos (maybe even over 1k) to help this couple remember the day. That's the beauty of having a second photographer..... Lots more pics! 😜
These two are now proud parents. Amazing how time flies ☺️]()

I first met Yumi and Dayo a few years ago when they excitedly told me their plans for a City Hall wedding well in advance of the date, as we bonded over homemade banana bread.
Then the big day came, and it was a beautiful holiday ceremony!
A few months later was their big wedding at the fabulous Cornerstone Sonoma - still one of my fave weddings to date 😜 (still kinda obsessed!)
🎉
And now, their little baby twins, Kemi and Sola, turn one year old! Where does the time go!
The family flew in from Chicago and Los Angeles, and it was time to celebrate one year of the Gomih family, just look at all those smiles!
☺️
These are the moments that life is made of 😍]()
