First Look Perks & Ideas



Brides, let’s talk about first looks...


Let me just open with: I will always highly recommend them, but also totally respect if you do not want to do one.

But hear me out, first looks aren’t just a cool trend that takes away the tradition of not seeing the bride until she comes down the aisle, if anything I think it is an even more intimate moment amongst the rush of a wedding day.

Actually, it might be the only time you get to set aside and be alone with one another for a few sweet moments. And if you are afraid he won’t have as good of a reaction seeing you come down the aisle, I would not be so worried about that, I’ve seen some pretty emotional and sweet reactions even after a first look 😉

I asked one of my previous brides, “Why or why not would you have a first look?” She stated, “We did because I just didn’t feel like it would change anything emotionally. But it totally depends on the couple too.”


The perks of a true first look are getting to see your husband-to-be and taking a few moments to really soak in the commitment you are about to make to each other. Then you get to take super fun photos with your wedding party before the ceremony which helps you get straight to the PAR-TAY after to celebrate that just married feeling! 🎉
