First Look
A private pre-ceremony moment where a couple sees each other for the first time.
A first look is a planned, private moment before the ceremony where a couple sees each other for the first time, captured by the photographer. It eases nerves and frees up the timeline.
Doing a first look lets you finish most portraits before the ceremony, so you spend cocktail hour with guests. Discuss whether you want one with your photographer when you build the day-of timeline.
