Some of the best moments are those that happen once.

Many couples forget to take time for themselves to enjoy their big day, and the first look provides and opportunity to do just this! Some couples have said it calms their nerves and gets them even more excited for the ceremony knowing that they can relax and spend less time on photos during the party. 

THE FIRST LOOK IS AN INTIMATE, ROMANTIC MOMENT FOR THE COUPLE

For brides, if you want a first look but still want to surprise your groom walking down the aisle, switch up the dress! Don’t wear the veil during the first look but add it for the ceremony. Either way, both moments will be unforgettable and you’ll be happy you have the memories to last a lifetime.
