Why You Should Consider a "First Look" on Your Wedding Day 💕

One of the most emotional and intimate moments of your wedding day can happen before you even walk down the aisle! A First Look—when couples see each other privately before the ceremony—has become a favorite for so many reasons:

💖 A Private, Intimate Moment – Take in the magic just the two of you, away from the crowd, and soak in the excitement together.

📸 More Photo Time – Capture beautiful, relaxed portraits without the post-ceremony rush, giving you more time to enjoy your cocktail hour!

🕊 Eases Wedding Day Nerves – Seeing your partner beforehand can calm those pre-ceremony jitters and make you feel even more excited to say "I do!"

💍 Savor the Ceremony – With photos done early, you can stay fully present during your vows and enjoy every second with your guests.

Whether you choose to do a First Look or stick with tradition, make sure your wedding timeline reflects what feels right for you!

As I reflect back on 2024, I am overjoyed that I am in the business of providing a pathway for couples to say their forever “I dos!” I have met and worked with forty-five couples this year planning intimate elopement ceremonies, fun destination weddings and celebrations that were truly spectacular.

It is always important to me when meeting a new couple, that they know I am here to provide guidance for the wedding of their dreams no matter how big or small. Each relationship is unique in its own way and should be reflected as such through their vows, during their wedding ceremony and as the celebration continues with their friends and family. I recently had a couple ask me if they should shorten their vows to stick to the schedule and my response was “Absolutely not! That’s why we are here. This is what the day is about!”

I love what I do, and I can’t wait for 2025 as we celebrate more happy endings once again! And, I cannot forget my own sweet family who supports what I do along the way! LOVE them so much!
