Alright, so you decided not to elope…but you sti Alright, so you decided not to elope…but you still desperately want epic wedding day portraits on a beach or in the woods or on a mountain.

Well, there’s an easy solution for that!

Simply book a day-after adventure session.

(I know, I know, that’s technically not the day of your wedding, but it’s close enough to count. ;))

So, the day after your wedding, the 3 of us (you, your new spouse, and me) will go on an adventure…and it can be as wild or as tame as you want!

Want to hike a few miles into an epic viewpoint and then change into your wedding clothes? HECK YEAH let’s do it.

Want to just go for a sweet stroll on the beach? HECK YEAH let’s do it.

No matter what “adventure” means to you, if you want epic wedding portraits, I’ve got you covered with a day-after adventure session.

My toxic trait is seeing sunshine in January and t My toxic trait is seeing sunshine in January and thinking spring is here. 💀

And then my husband reminds me that it’s only January. 🤦🏻‍♀️😭

So if anyone wants to go ahead and book their golden hour summer session now so that I have something to look forward to, that would be great. 😂

Don’t get me wrong…I LOVE first looks and I th Don’t get me wrong…I LOVE first looks and I think they’re 110% worth it.

BUT.

When my husband and I got married, I knew that NOT having a first look was super important to him.

So, like a good little future-wife, I argued for awhile but then finally remembered that “oh hey, this is his wedding too so he should probably be allowed to make some of the decisions” and gave in.

And we didn’t have a first look.

AND IT WAS TOTALLY OKAY!

So, here’s my encouragement to you:

If neither of you feel strongly about *not* having a first look, then go ahead and have one!! It’s ABSOLUTELY worth it (for so many different reasons).

But, if after looking at all the info and reasons TO have a first look, one (or both) of you feel strongly that it’s just not something you want, that is MORE THAN OKAY.

My one piece of advice would be… find a photographer who can work quickly & efficiently so that your guests aren’t waiting around for too long between the ceremony ending and the reception officially beginning!
