OG 45. Your Photographer Wants You to Take First Look Photos with Ashley Strickland

On this rerun episode, enjoy our convo with Ashley Strickland of Ashley Nicole Photography about why brides, especially Black brides, need to do a first look.

One of our friendors chatted with us about first looks! Black brides don’t always go for the first look because of tradition but there are a LOT of reasons why it is actually a good idea. Ashley Strickland of Ashley Nicole Photography (@ashleynicolephotosatl) talked to us about other reasons why brides don’t go for this, how it allows brides to enjoy their cocktail hour and reception, and other first look-like alternatives to consider.
