I think Anna and Mike should be the sponsors for having a First Look. At every wedding, there’s always a frenzy of nerves full of excitement and anticipation before the ceremony and sometimes it becomes overwhelming. Having a First Look provides an opportunity to see each other beforehand and get all of those nervous flutters out. As with Anna and Mike, I could tell that both of them were much more at ease once they weren’t hiding from each other anymore! All the worry about time and details seemed to fade away and we were able to just focus on these two being happy with each other.

Anna and Mike celebrated with their family and friends at the historic Gassaway Mansion. My favorite moment from their day had to be when their daughter Olivia got shy about walking down the aisle alone, so Mommy picked her up and walked with her in her arms. It may not have been the original plan, but I think it turned out even more perfect. Mike’s two girls got to walk to him as they were about to “officially” become a family.

Anna and Mike, thank you for inviting me to be a part of this memorable day. Your joy on the wedding day was contagious, and my wish for you is a lifetime of the same happiness! Enjoy some of my favorites from their day.
