It can be one of the biggest wedding decisions you make…
To have a First Look or not?
For some, tradition and superstition prevent a First Look. For others, it’s the fear that a First Look will take away from your reactions to seeing each other for the first time as you walk down the aisle.
Vignette Photography photographed Katie & Hector’s wedding.
Katie & Hector are a great example of the merits of a First Look…and how your walk down the aisle will still take his breath away.
Notice how the couple is so thrilled to see each other in their First Look. And, they don’t have to immediately face away from each other for a ceremony. They get to look…hug….laugh…and cry. It’s beautiful.
And here, as Katie walks down the aisle, Hector is still adorably touched. Having seen her before the ceremony didn’t change things a bit…she is still his bride on her way to take his hand.
From Elizabeth at Vignette Photography:
We always ask our brides what their plans are for their day – do they want to see each other before the ceremony? Sometimes they haven’t decided so we discuss the pros of a First Look with them but in no means try to force that decision upon them. Some are very adamant about not seeing each other before. In this instance, the First Look was Katie’s idea. She very much wanted the First Look to share that special moment with Hector. It wasn’t rushed and we were only on the scene for maybe 5 minutes before we walked away to allow them complete time alone. It was also a good decision on her part because of the large amount of family photos they wanted. We were able to take all of those prior to the ceremony so after the ceremony, Katie and Hector went right into their reception and actually ate dinner!
…looking at the images, you can just see their emotions – love, joy and commitment- and the how the importance of this day weighed on them in a good way, especially Hector. It’s cute too that during the ceremony when Katie walked the aisle with her dad, Hector had almost the same reaction seeing her again as he did during the First Look.
Vignette Photography shows how special a First Look can be and how it won’t take away from the moment the groom sees his bride walking down the aisle.
