The benefits of a first look on your wedding day

Decisions, decisions—entering the realm of wedding planning often comes with contemplating moments like the first look. It's that pause, that lingering question: Should we? Shouldn't we? You've heard of it, and you're intrigued, yet the hesitation lingers. If you're standing at a crossroads, mulling over whether a first look is your wedding day's perfect fit, let's walk through the possibilities together.



Cocktail Hour Bliss

Ever dreamt of mingling with your guests, clinking glasses, and savouring hors d'oeuvres rather than being whisked away for countless photos? A first look allows you to share an intimate moment earlier, freeing up your post-ceremony time to join the party and enjoy cocktail hour, making even more memories on your big day.


Private Vows and Intimate Moments

Imagine a quiet moment before the whirlwind of the ceremony, just the two of you. A first look offers a precious opportunity to exchange personal vows or simply revel in each other's presence. It's a chance to calm those pre-ceremony jitters and share sentiments in a more intimate setting.



Relaxed and Radiant

Here's a little secret—couples often appear more relaxed after a first look. Why? Because it eases those nerves! No more trying to hold back tears as you walk down the aisle in front of everyone. It’s a moment that’s just yours, calming the storm of emotions before the main event.


Psst…brides, don’t worry, grooms usually cry again when they see their girl walking down the aisle. You won’t miss out on that moment!


Golden Hour Glamour

Worried about missing out on those dreamy sunset photos? Fear not! Opting for a first look means you can capture those mesmerizing golden hour shots without worrying about running out of daylight after the ceremony.



Your Vision, Your Choice

But hey, if you’ve always envisioned that heart-stopping moment at the end of the aisle, trust your gut! You can still opt for the traditional aisle reveal. 


Pro tip: Extend your cocktail hour by adding an extra half-hour to squeeze in more photo time post-ceremony.


Remember, this day is all about creating moments that resonate with you. Whether you opt for a first look or stick to tradition, it's about embracing what feels right for your love story.
