What Is a First Look?

A first look is a private moment before the ceremony where the couple sees each other for the first time on their wedding day. It’s often captured by your wedding photographer and videographer in a quiet, picturesque setting—away from the guests and the chaos.

Why We Love First Look Moments!

Here are a few reasons why we recommend first looks to so many of our couples:

1. Emotional & Authentic Reactions

One of the biggest advantages of doing a first look is getting to experience and document genuine emotions without the pressure of a crowd. Couples often cry, laugh, or simply take a deep breath together—and that connection is priceless.

2. More Time Together

Wedding days go by in a flash. A first look allows you to spend more of your special day together. You’ll have that extra hour or two to connect, calm nerves, and soak it all in.

3. Stunning Photo Opportunities

Some of our most beautiful, editorial-style images happen during the first look. With natural lighting and a calm atmosphere, we’re able to capture you in your most genuine state—ideal for stylish, modern couples with a love for clean, romantic imagery.

4. A Smoother Timeline

Doing a first look means you can get many of your wedding portraits and family photos done before the ceremony. That way, you can join cocktail hour and actually enjoy your reception without interruptions.

5. A Quiet Moment Just for You

Your wedding day is full of people, but this is a moment that’s just for the two of you. Away from the crowd, you can hug, talk, or even exchange private vows—without eyes on you.

Is a First Look Right for You?

While first looks aren’t for everyone, they’re perfect for couples who:

• Want more time together on the wedding day

• Prefer a relaxed, less traditional timeline

• Want to avoid a long post-ceremony photo session

• Value emotional storytelling in their wedding film

If you’re dreaming of a wedding filled with meaningful, beautiful moments—and you love candid, emotional photography—a first look could be the perfect fit.
