To See Each Other Before For Wedding Photographs Or Not?
There’s one big truth about the question of “seeing each other before the ceremony” which never gets talked about – but makes a huge difference for the wedding couple.
Two things, actually. So I’ve pointed them both out in this article.
The bride and groom at this wedding were not going to see each other prior to the ceremony but at the last minute had a change of heart.
And they had some great moments doing their “First Look.” They enjoyed alone time away from the crowd… which also made for great, awesome photos.
In fact you can see how high their emotions ran, like right here in the seconds before their “First Look” was just about to happen:
So this is the first thing to know about having a “First Look”:
Obviously it gives you more experiences and memories of your day and in a very heightened way too. Clearly everything that happens during the First Look is a unique experience you wouldn’t have had otherwise… and will be remembered forever, right?
But now, afterwards, when it came time for their ceremony – do you think the time they spent together earlier took any shine off the magic, special moment when they see each other at the ceremony?
Well I need to tell you, it sure didn’t.
I mean, just look at the expression on the groom’s face as he sees his bride make her appearance at the top of the aisle. Just look at him!
I was there so I can tell you: When she turned the corner and appeared at the top of the aisle – these two immediately locked eyes on each other. They were beyond riveted on each other.
It was as if there was not a single other person in the crowd – despite the fact that a huge throng of guests were seated right there between the two of them. His eyes were only on her – and hers only on him.
It was powerful. You could literally feel their energy.
But I need to tell you “doing the First Look doesn’t take away the magic later” isn’t really the second point. This is:
Having the First Look and spending that quality time together earlier on… ramps up and fuels the emotions to brimming for when the magic moment comes you see each other at the top of the aisle.
As you can plainly see:
Maybe up to now you’ve thought of “First Look” only as a way not to miss your day because of taking photos. But you can see it’s really about:
More personal unique moments experienced + more emotions stirred = more amazing memories for you to have and cherish.
