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!

I love the photos; they are playful and classic! Great site!

LOVE the photos. They are such an original way to capture a wedding!

Megan shot my wedding two weeks ago, and I could not have picked a better photographer! Everyone in our families and wedding party raved about how much fun she was to work with. She really brought out the best in us, even my dad, whose smile ends up looking like a snarl in every Christmas picture. Luckily in the wedding pictures he’s got a big huge grin! We thank Megan for that magic!

Juliet Douglas - September 20, 2010 - 1:21 pm

Hi Lisa,
It’s great to hear about your wonderful experience with Megan. Thank you for commenting and sharing your experience! I’m glad she was able to turn your dad’s snarl into a big smile in your wedding photos!

Megan is amazing! She photographed my husband and me for our wedding announcement a few years back. I was a bit nervous to have my picture taken, shy person that I am, but as soon as Megan started working her magic I relaxed and had so much fun. She had great, original ideas that I never would have thought to try that turned out so well. The photos she took for us don’t look like anyone else’s and we have several of them hanging in our home.
