Are you planning your wedding day and considering a First Look? Chances are, you’ve heard about the tradition of the First Look and you’re wondering if it’s right for you. On this blog, we’ll explore what a First Look is, the benefits of having one, and how to make it work for you!
A First Look is an intimate moment between the bride and groom before the ceremony starts, when they have the chance to see each other for the first time in private. It’s a time to take in each other’s beauty, express emotions without an audience and take a few moments just for the two of you before all the wedding festivities begin. You can also do a first look with family members and your bridal party!
Many couples opt for a First Look due to the many benefits it can bring to their wedding day. Not only does it add a beautiful and special moment to the day, but it also allows you to take some of the pressure off before the ceremony. It can also give you a chance to take some amazing photos before the ceremony starts and the formal pictures begin.
So, if you are planning your wedding and considering a First Look, read on to learn more about how to make it work for you. We’ll explore the different ways to make it special, tips for making it meaningful, and ways to adjust it to fit your unique wedding day!
You’ll have an intimate moment together
A first look allows for an intimate moment between you and your partner before the ceremony. It provides a private moment for you both to share your emotions, and can be a great way to calm nerves before the ceremony.
It’s a great photo opportunity
A first look can also provide more time for photos after the ceremony! If you choose to do a first look, the photographer can take advantage of the extra time to snap some great photos afterwards.
Your day will run smoother
A first look helps to keep the timeline of the day running smoothly. Without the first look, you and your partner would have to wait until after the ceremony to take photos, which could cause a delay in the evening’s festivities.
The reactions
A first look can provide an opportunity to capture some of the most special photos of the day. Seeing the couple’s reactions when they see each other for the first time can be incredibly special and emotional.
It adds a personal touch
A first look can also be a great way to add a unique and personal touch to the wedding day. You and your partner can make the moment as special as you want, and the photos will be a great reminder of the love you share!

KIND WORDS
“I cannot recommend Hanna enough! Leading up to the big day I never felt like I was in the dark. Hanna provided calmness and unique alternatives to situations where I may have been stuck during planning. On the big day -she was amazing working with the other vendors and creating our dream team! When I thought I was lost or behind on tasks, I’d turn and Hanna would be right there to guide the way! Thank you for making our day so special and run so smoothly!”
