To First Look or Not to First Look - That is the Question!
Hey there, lovebirds!
So, you're planning the big day, and the topic of a "first look" has come up. If you're scratching your head wondering what a first look even is, don't worry—I've got you covered. I'm here to break it down for you, with a sprinkle of humour and a whole lot of love.
The Case for the First Look
Bye-Bye Butterflies: If you're the nervous type, a first look can help calm those pre-ceremony jitters. Seeing your partner before the big event can be a major stress reliever.
More Photo Time: Love photos? (Of course, you do!) Doing a first look means I can get a lot of your portraits done before the ceremony, giving you more time to mingle and party afterward.
Private Moment: The day can be a whirlwind. A first look gives you a few precious minutes alone together, just the two of you, to soak it all in.
The Case Against the First Look
Tradition, Tradition: If you're a sucker for traditions, skipping the first look means sticking to that classic moment of seeing each other at the altar. It's a timeless, heart-stopping, and often tear-jerking experience.
Anticipation Build-Up: There's something to be said for the suspense and excitement of waiting to see each other until the ceremony. It's like the ultimate surprise gift!
More Natural Reactions: Sometimes the reactions during the ceremony are more raw and genuine because of the build-up. If you love that idea, waiting might be the way to go.
So, What's the Verdict?
Here's the deal: There's no right or wrong answer. It all comes down to what feels right for you as a couple. Want a private, emotional moment before the chaos ensues? Go for the first look! Prefer to stick with tradition and bask in the anticipation? Wait for the aisle moment!
As your photographer, my job is to capture the magic, whether it's a first look or a first glance at the altar. I’m here to support whatever decision makes your heart sing and your day unforgettable.
So, what will it be? The intimate first look or the traditional aisle reveal? The choice is yours, and whatever you decide, it's going to be epic.
