The Benefits Of A First Look

Benefits of a First Look Before Your Wedding Ceremony

As a professional wedding photographer, I love it when the Bride and Groom do a first look before their ceremony. With so many benefits to capturing the first look more and more couples are choosing to go this route.

If you are contemplating whether or not to see each other before the ceremony here is why I suggest you go for it.

• We want to make the first time you see your beloved breathtaking and exhilarating.
• We want that moment to knock you off your feet.
• Many couples are more reserved not used to being center of attention. In a private setting, we will capture plenty of sweet moments of the two of you.
• We set the stage for the first look so you can feel comfortable and relaxed.

What Makes a First Look So Special

When alone those raw emotions flow free. This gives you a chance to talk to each other which you can't do during the ceremony. All the anticipation is just as exciting as seeing your bride walk down the aisle or your groom standing in the distance waiting to take your hand in marriage. When you have the opportunity to see each other before the ceremony, time is not rushed, you will get beautiful heartfelt images.

That Moment Leading Up to Seeing Your Fiancé

The moments that lead up to the two of you seeing each other for the first time on your wedding day. The excitement and anticipation are captured forever and documented to relive the moment over and over. Nerves are settled when you see each other before. A simple touch or gaze into each other's eyes will reassure you that this is the best day of your life. This allows you to feel relaxed and enjoy the ceremony so much more. Everyone knows that your wedding day goes fast so enjoy every moment to the fullest.

Bottom Line

A first look is a deeply personal choice. Whether you embrace the tradition of seeing each other at the altar or share a quiet, emotional moment before the ceremony, the most important thing is choosing what feels right for you as a couple. Whatever you decide, make it meaningful, and trust that the emotions of the day will shine through in every photo.
