Best First Kiss

It’s that time of year again. There are some things that a girl can just count on in February: lots of pink and red outfits in my “for you” feed, at least one snow event, and love stories (even if they aren’t my own). Since I’m currently curled up on my couch waiting for the snow, I thought I’d indulge my love for romantic moments by looking at some of my favorite Amative first kiss moments. So whether you’re in love and looking for inspiration for your own wedding photos, or you’re a single gal like me and you’re just living vicariously through others, enjoy these 14 memorable kisses to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

1. Matt & Michelle

We photograph a lot of first kisses. And we love it when the couple absolutely just GOES for it. Michelle and Matt’s first kiss was absolutely iconic… as well as their second…. and third!

2. Paige & Brayden

If you read our post with our top moments of 2021, you probably aren’t surprised to see this photo on my list. This photo was our “best first kiss of 2021.” This one gives us ALL the feels.

 

3. Autumn & Justin

In case you can’t tell, we LOVE a bold kiss at the altar and Justin went for it. One of my favorite things about this photo is the look on the faces of the wedding party.

4. Loryn & Nishant

Speaking of looks on faces…. While this kiss wasn’t their first (it was more like their second), I love the way this picture captures the reactions of all of their guests!

 

5. Aly & Ben

One of the best parts of Aly & Ben’s wedding day was watching this new family come together. While Aly’s daughter Ella isn’t a part of this particular picture, the sweet ways that she was incorporated into the ceremony made this first kiss even more special.

 

6. Megan & Kyle

There’s something to be said for those classic Cathedral moments where even the surrounding architecture puts all your attention on the couple and their union. Megan and Kyle’s first kiss was elegant, regal, and class, class, class.

7. Alissa & Paul

When you can see the couple smiling while kissing, you can just feel the joy of the moment. Alissa and Paul holding back big cheesy grins of happiness as they smooched is what it’s all about.

8. Alli & Ben

Speaking of happiness… Alli and Ben could hardly contain their excitement after their first kiss!! We’ve never seen a couple so embracing the excitement of the moment!

9. Lennika & Thomas

One of the most unique weddings I’ve ever seen – everyone wore white! And this stunning couple’s first kiss was absolutely perfect.

 

10. Cassie & Derrick

If there was ever a silver lining on an unplanned “oops” at a wedding, it was when an unexpected snag in the timeline took place, which bumped the ceremony back to sunset (at no fault to the couple I might add!!) The resulting golden glow was nothing short of breathtaking for Cassie and Derrick’s first kiss!

 

11. Christen & Will

Sometimes we don’t notice the funny or unique moments until we sit down and look at the photos later… Kind of like when Christen and Will were walking down the aisle after their First Kiss and a curious hotel guest took a peak to see what the fuss was about.

 

 

Not “First Kisses” – But ALL the Same Feels…

 

1. Jessica & Cody

Okay, but this moment captured during Jessica & Cody’s first look stole my heart.

2. Carrie & Colton

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m only mildly obsessed with Carrie & Colton’s wedding photos. While this moment doesn’t capture their “first kiss,” it is such a sweet moment between the newlyweds that I had to include it in this list.

3. Whitney & Peyton

Mr. Ed was almost as big a part of Whitney & Peyton’s big day as the bride and groom. So it’s no surprise that we captured the two lovebirds smooching in front of his face. Mr. Ed, cover your eyes.

 

4. Hope & Dom

There’s something so magical about a night kiss in the middle of a street. For Hope & Dom, this movie moment with downtown Lynchburg in the background was a recreation of their engagement photos in the same location.

 

5. Laura & Ryan

I think Laura & Ryan look like they are straight out of a magazine. Someone call Anna Wintour!

6. Jade & Steven

Last but certainly not least, is Jade & Steven. I know, I’ve included another non “first kiss” but I couldn’t help it. Can you blame me for how much I love this sunset moment? It’s like it’s taken right out of a movie (I told you, I’m loving rom-com moments).

Happy Valentine’s day to all of our Amative Creative couples. If you want to be ours and join the Amative family, send us a valentine’s card. We’d love to connect!

Now, please excuse me while I go eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s on my couch while watching Say Anything.
