Today I will be sharing on a trend not so common with our couples in Nigeria and in Africa.  This is a unique element any couple should include in their wedding plans but which many will regard as taboo. It is what I call the “Wedding First-Look photography session!“

A few people may agree with me when I say ” some couples think seeing each other before the wedding is such bad luck! and will lead to a lot of future matrimonial disasters! Right?

Well that is not the case with Yetunde and Tayo who decided to take a leap of faith by listening to their wedding photographer,

and till tomorrow they always say ” it was the favorite part of their wedding”! And they have also being living happily ever after! *wink*

Here is an experience our bride Yetunde shares with us on her first-look.

“My favorite part of the day was definitely our first look. When Dotun first suggested it to me I was like absolutely not! Good thing I changed my mind and convinced Tayo too. This was the ultimate best decision we took. The best moment was the look on his face when he turned around and saw meI was so emotional ( and I thought I would never cry) it was like time stopped and it was just the 2 of usI am so grateful that we got to share that moment just basking in the euphoria. Everything else after that was a blur it all happened so fast lol.” – Bride

Dear Future Bride and groom, before all the wedding frenzy take a few moments to schedule a “first-look” session with your wedding planner and photographer; it is overly important! As your best memories are timeless when captured in pictures!

Love,
