For some people a first look is essential! Seeing your partner. For others, they want the excitement without sacrificing a first look at wedding? Sometimes its necessary during those 4PM sunset seasons. But for others, that moment you walk down the aisle is important.

Working with your photographer you can plan the perfect ways to create these fun and exciting moments. It’s your wedding day, you might as well show your look off!! You’ll probably on wear it once!
First Look with Bridesmaids
Bridesmaid first looks are so fun!! You’ve selected all of these girls to stand with you in this moment so why not use the chance to show off your dress. If you have some girls that skipped the shopping stage, or friends for life that you know are sentimental, its always a good idea to make this moment stand out. We can gather up your girls and set up a chance to have some fun with it!
First Look with Parents
Wedding days are sentimental for parents and often times its a day they’ve been looking forward to for your whole life. Setting this time apart to celebrate those figures in your life is a touching sentiment that won’t be lost on your parents.
So if you’re Daddy’s girl or you have anyone in your life that stands in a parental role, you can use this time to say thanks and show off that special relationship. Often times moms, or mom figures, will help you get ready and once you’re all zipped up that first moment you turn around will be incredibly special as well.
First Look with ANYONE
Siblings, grandparents, the mean girl from 7th grade… seriously, SHOW OFF! This is your time to shine!! First Looks aren’t just reserved for your partner.
