You Only Get One Chance At The First Look, It’s As Good As The First Kiss
A ‘first look’ is when the groom sees his bride on their wedding day for the first time. Whilst this would usually occur at the wedding ceremony, more and more couples are choosing this to occur in a private location just prior to the ceremony. The ‘first look’ is very common in the USA and Canada but up until a few years ago unheard of in Australia. The ‘first look’ is usually organised by the wedding photographer to document this special moment. It often results in a very emotional response and allows the couple time to reconnect prior to the wedding ceremony.

I found out that photographers are more than people who take photos. The right photographer will look after you and make sure you are comfortable and calm you down when your heart is pumping a hundred miles an hour and you are thinking of doing a runner!

Having so many close family members who have passed away I was worried about how emotional the day would be. I thought it would be good to get some of that emotion out of the way in the First Look with just Bill and me there. We chose the cemetery because I really wanted to…

The First Look
I’m really happy we did a First Look. It was such a beautiful moment and gave us some time out to just enjoy each other in what was otherwise a whirlwind day. I can’t imagine anyone would regret doing a First Look, I can imagine people regretting not doing one though so to anyone considering…
