đ§ĄFIRST LOOK MAGICđ§Ą
Thereâs something undeniably powerful about a first look at a wedding. Itâs that raw, unscripted moment where emotions run high, and you get to share something truly special before the whirlwind of the day takes over. Whether itâs a tradition youâve always wanted to include or a modern twist that makes sense for you, a first look is one of those moments that can be whatever you want it to be.
Take Louise and Aimee, for example. They both chose the traditional father first look, and the reactions were priceless. A proud dad seeing his daughter as a bride for the first time â you canât manufacture that kind of emotion. Then there was Chelsea, who went for a hilarious first look with all her groomsmen. Their reaction? Absolute gold. Hayley had one with her son, and let me tell you, there wasnât a dry eye in the room. And Alexe? She gathered her leading ladies and gave them a reveal theyâll never forget. The stunned faces, the joyful tears â it was everything.
But why do we do first looks? Well, hereâs a little trivia for you. First looks actually stem from an old tradition where couples werenât allowed to see each other before the wedding because marriages were often arranged, and families didnât want the bride or groom to back out! Thankfully, weâve moved on from that, and now the first look is a way to create an intimate, beautiful moment before the ceremony begins.
At the end of the day, it doesnât matter who you choose for your first look â or if you even have one at all. Your wedding should be about what feels right for you. Whether you go traditional, shake things up, or skip it altogether, Iâm here to capture your day exactly how you envision it. Because with me, itâs all about Your Day, Your Way. So break the traditions, make new ones, and have the wedding that feels like you!
