How a First Look Can Elevate Your Wedding Day
Let’s chat about a little secret that can make a huge difference in your wedding photos: the first look. You might be wondering, “What’s that?” Well, let me break it down for you in the most fun and friendly way possible.
What’s A First Look?
Imagine this: before all the hustle and bustle kicks off, you and your soon-to-be-spouse carve out a private moment to see each other for the first time on your big day. Just the two of you (and maybe your sneaky photographer capturing the magic). Sounds dreamy, right?
Why Consider a First Look?
Let’s be real, weddings can be a tad nerve-wracking. Sneaking away for a first look can help shake off those pre-ceremony jitters. Weddings can be a whirlwind, and sneaking in a private moment together before everything kicks off can really help you both relax and soak it all in.
Plus, getting some portraits done before the ceremony means more time to hit the dance floor later. You’ll be looking fresh and fabulous, and those genuine, love-filled shots? Absolutely priceless. It’s all about capturing the real you, without an audience, just pure, unfiltered emotion.
But What About Tradition?
I hear you! Traditionally, the expectation has been for couples to wait until the ceremony to see each other. But hey, it’s your day! But that tradition is also from a time period where weddings were arranged and the groom didn’t see the bride before the wedding so he couldn’t back out on marrying her because of how she looked. 😬
Final Thoughts
In the end, whether you opt for a first look or not, the goal is to make your wedding day authentically you. So, chat with your partner, weigh the pros and cons, and do what feels right!
