Wedding Word Wednesday: First Look

In 2010, I wrote about the “First Look” and why couples should consider doing a first look before their wedding ceremony. Photographers call this a number of things including, “First Sight”, “Reveal” or even “First Glance”. Basically, your photographer will stage the first time you see each other for the very first time. Instead of...

Photography: First Look

The First Look. Also known as the “first glance” or even “first sight”, the first look is starting to gain in popularity. I still have to explain to many of my brides what this means but more and more brides are saying yes and doing away with tradition. What happens during a first look is...

I completely regret not doing the first look. We were rushed with the one hour we had during cocktail hour and I didn’t get the shots I wanted. DO THE FIRST LOOK!

I love the one of her doing the bunny ears behind his head. That is classic. That will be a nice surprise when they are looking at those wedding photos together :)

Such a great article Juliet!! I can’t recommend first sights enough! Not only are they fantastic for photos and help the flow of the day go super smooth, but they are so incredibly romantic. It’s adds an extra super sweet moment to the day. :-)

At first I thought a first sighting felt like I was cheating. It felt a little like having dessert first. But when it was thee day, I was SO glad we made the decision. I was anxious all morning and 90% of it was because I did not have my partner with me! As soon as I saw him, the anxiety melted away and we just had fun. When I walked down the aisle, rather than feeling like an emotional wreck, I was just really happy. And we got to enjoy cocktail hour, bonus!

LOVE IT! I’m planning a Madhatter’s bedroom for my daughter… love that funky color palette from the new movie and have lots of fun ideas (including a nightstand made of giant stacked teacups!)
Would love to know where you got the framed pic of the Madhatter… and is that the Queen in the other pic? Those would be PERFECT!!
