Definition: A First Look is a special moment before the ceremony where the couple sees each other for the first time on the big day. Unlike the traditional approach where the bride walks down the aisle for the first time to meet the groom, a first look is a private, intimate moment typically arranged in a quiet location.
Practical Use + Tips: This is YOUR time- the first look is a beautiful way to experience a private and emotional moment with your partner before the ceremony and without everyone watching. It allows you both to connect, calm any pre-ceremony jitters, and capture beautiful photos in the moment.
By doing a first look ahead of time, it can allow for some photos to be taken ahead of time with the bridal party or just you two and get you to your celebration and loved ones quicker!
A few other things to consider:
- Keep this moment special between the two of you, use this moment to speak freely to each other. Share your feelings in that moment when it is just the two of you!
- Make sure you have a photo plan for this one!
