FAQ: So what exactly is a First Look?

To put it simply, it's an arrangement for the Bride and Groom to see each other (and be photographed) before the ceremony. It is taken place in a nice, quiet, intimate setting - just the bride and groom (and photographer).

The first look is such a romantic moment for both the bride and groom, seeing your future spouse for the first time on such a special day, much more intimate than it would be if you were to share a first look with all of your guests as you walk down the aisle. I've seen brides tear up because of the pressure they feel from guests looking at them as they walk - its pretty nerve wreaking - but just think about it, not only will you and your future hubby have ALONE time (probably the only alone time you'll have on your big day until its all over), get photos capturing pure love and emotion expressed between the two of you without the distraction of others, but you will also have a bit of pressure alleviated from you as you walk down the aisle :)

First Looks also allow enough time for bride and groom formals which will in turn, allow for a quicker transition from the ceremony to reception site ;-)
