To Have A First Look Or Not?

To Have A First Look Or Not?

To Have A First Look Or Not? It’s a question I hear from so many couples. And honestly, there’s no right or wrong answer! Some couples crave a quiet moment together before everything begins. Others want the magic of waiting and seeing each other for the first time as they walk down the aisle. Either choice is beautiful, and both come with their own kind of magic.

The Intimacy of a First Look

A first look can feel like stepping into your own little world. It gives you a chance to breathe, to hug, to laugh, and maybe even cry together before the day begins. As your photographer I’ll capture those honest, unscripted reactions, the ones that will make you laugh and cry again when you see your photos. Afterward, you can move through your ceremony and portraits feeling relaxed, connected, and fully present. It’s a moment just for the two of you, and sometimes, that private pause is exactly what makes the day feel so special!!

The Magic of the Aisle Reveal

Waiting until the ceremony has its own kind of beauty. Walking down the aisle, seeing your partner for the first time surrounded by friends and family, is a moment that makes your heart swell. Every glance, every smile, every tear is amplified. The anticipation builds an energy that is unforgettable. Couples who wait often tell me they wouldn’t trade that aisle reveal for anything, it’s the memory that sticks.

How to Decide

When deciding, think about your personalities and your day. Do you want that private, intimate moment? Or do you crave the shared excitement of the ceremony? Consider your timeline, too. Having a first look gives you more time to be together throughout the day! Either way, make the choice that feels right for you. Talk with your partner, be honest about your feelings, and trust your instincts.

Your Story, Your Choice

To Have A First Look Or Not? Only you can decide… but either way it will be magical! Your love story is beautiful, and every moment, private or shared, deserves to be cherished. Enjoy the day, savor the emotions, and let your story unfold exactly the way it should.

my story continues here

For me, photography isn’t just my job. It is my passion and purpose. I’m drawn to the beauty of genuine connection, the way your head rests gently on your spouse’s shoulder, how you throw your head back and laugh as your best friend gives their speech, and the way your parents cry during your vows.  

The little things. The tiny details. The things you never, ever want to forget, captured in honest, true-to-life colors that don’t just document the way things look, but the way they feel.

From slow dancing at sunset to laughing so hard your makeup starts to run, my goal is to document your wedding day in a way that feels like you.
