It may go against old traditions, but I’m excited that First Looks are becoming the NEW tradition. A First Look has a huge impact on your wedding photography timeline for the day and provides the opportunity for additional bridal portraits. It also makes the moment you see one another for the first time an intimate experience that’s truly just about you.
So what exactly is a First Look? Before the ceremony I photograph just the bride and the groom, in an intimate setting where we reveal you to each other. It’s an opportunity to get his reaction when he sees you in your wedding gown for the very first time. Unlike your walk down the aisle, when all eyes will be on you, during the First Look only his eyes (and my lens) will be on you. Your wedding day will go by in the blink of an eye. A First Look is a private moment for the two of you to enjoy, before being swept into the rest of the day.
Why would we want to break with tradition? If your wedding photographs are a priority in the planning of your perfect day, then you’re likely to appreciate the benefits of a First Look. Those benefits include having additional time for bridal portraits, getting to your reception sooner following the ceremony, and creating a moment for just you and your soon-to-be husband. Many brides and grooms also find it a wonderful way to calm their wedding day jitters before walking down the aisle.
