Why should you do a first look? Check out our top 3 reasons.

1. You Get to Embrace Each Other

A first look is an intimate moment—just the two of you, away from all the chaos. It’s a chance to hold each other, take a deep breath, and soak in the moment before everything goes into full wedding mode. Plus, you'll get your partner’s genuine reaction, which is something you might not get if you're standing at the altar in front of a crowd. Trust us, you’ll treasure that private moment.

2. So You Don’t Have to Rush Through Photos

Let’s be real—no one wants to rush through photos on their wedding day. Doing a first look means you can get all your bridal party photos out of the way before the ceremony. This way, once the vows are done, you can focus on family photos, enjoy cocktail hour with your guests, and even squeeze in some alone time with your partner, away from the bustle of the day. It’s a win for everyone!

3. Because It Calms Your Nerves

Walking down the aisle is huge—it’s one of the most intense moments of the day! Having a first look helps calm those nerves. You get to spend a few quiet moments with your fiancé before the ceremony, making that big walk down the aisle feel a little less intimidating.
