Should you have a first look on your wedding day?The moment you first see your partner on your wedding day can be an extremely emotional time, for this reason many couples are opting to have this moment in private before the ceremony, this is commonly referred to as a “First Look”.
A “First Look” is a private moment where the couple sees each other for the first time on their wedding day before the ceremony. It’s an intimate and emotional experience shared away from the guests.
Why should we consider having a First Look?
A First Look allows you to share a private, emotional moment with your partner, which can help calm pre-ceremony nerves. It also provides an opportunity for beautiful, candid photos and videos.
Does a First Look take away from the moment of walking down the aisle?
Not at all. Many couples find that having a First Look adds to the emotional experience, making the walk down the aisle even more special as they have already shared a private, heartfelt moment.
Will a First Look affect the timeline of our wedding day?
Yes, a First Look can help streamline the timeline by allowing some photos and videos to be taken before the ceremony, freeing up time afterward for more relaxed and enjoyable moments with your guests.
Can we still have traditional reactions during the ceremony if we have a First Look?
Absolutely! Even with a First Look, many couples find that their emotions are just as strong during the ceremony. The First Look simply adds another layer of meaningful moments to your wedding day.
