Episode 1: Our Origin Story, Creative Process, and Why We're Finally Doing This

Welcome to the very first episode of Before the First Look! We’re Joshua and Alisha, the husband-and-wife duo behind Him & Her Photography, and today we’re finally sitting down to hit record on something we’ve talked about for years.

In this episode, we open up about how this podcast came to be, why we almost started it with our unhinged vendor group chat (shout out to the Wedding Raccoons), and what you can expect going forward. We reflect on our 17+ years of marriage, our early days with a YouTube channel (and a missed shot at MTV), and how our photography journey began with a borrowed camera and a lot of heart.

We also dive into:

Why video changed the way we tell stories

What creativity looks like on a wedding day

The real difference between editorial, documentary, and true-to-color photography styles

Why details matter and how we approach styled moments

The importance of not comparing your wedding (or your business) to anyone else’s

Whether you're a couple planning a wedding, a creative entrepreneur, or someone who just loves a good behind-the-scenes story, you're in the right place.

Before the first look... there’s the nerves. The laughter. The quiet moments no one sees.

And sometimes… there's the cake meltdown, the uncle with a drone, and the flower girl who's just done with everything.

We’re Joshuah and Alisha, the husband-and-wife team behind Him & Her Photography.

We believe in capturing legacy, not just photos.

In telling stories that matter: the ones behind the veil, behind the lens, and before the first look.

This podcast is for couples, creatives, and anyone who loves a good wedding story.

We’ll share the honest, unfiltered parts of wedding days, real advice, and real love.

Because love is in the little things. And legacy lives in the moments no one else notices.

This is Before the First Look. Hit follow and come hang out.
