When engagement celebrations are winding down the wedding planning is commencing there are numerous options to consider for when a Bride and Groom will first see each other on their wedding day. For some that special moment is before they even walk down the aisle. It involves a man waiting with his back turned and a smile on his face knowing that when he turns around he’ll see his bride in a white gown looking as beautiful as ever. Together they have the time to share a quiet moment, a tear, a memory, and prepare for the best moment of their lives.
A first look often will help those with a tight wedding schedule allowing to get the couples portraits done while the light is bright and beautiful. This relieves the couple of the pressure of getting wedding party portraits, couples portraits, and family portraits done with in the hours between the wedding and reception. We’ve found the first look to be a blessing and a joy. Witness the excitement on the couple’s faces as they see each other for the first time. Here are some of our favorite first looks from 2014.
