Top Reasons to Have a First-Look Before Your Wedding Ceremony



As you plan your wedding day down to the smallest detail, you will realize how much you will be doing on your big day, and how many guests you will be sharing it with. A wedding day is supposed to be a time for you and your partner to begin your marriage. However, a large part of your wedding day will be hosting and sharing the moment with others.

Of course, it is worth it to share such an intimate part of your life with your loved ones. But, it’s also important to make time for just you and your partner. A first-look with your spouse to-be will be a wonderful addition to your big day.

Here at Joseph Hummel Photography, we believe that a first-look will contribute such deep emotions to your memories and your wedding album. That’s why we have put together the top reasons as to why you should have a first-look before your wedding ceremony. Keep reading to learn how it can make your big day better:

  • Relaxation. The nerves you will feel as you make your way down the aisle can be overwhelming. When you choose to host a first-look before your ceremony, you will create an intimate space for the two of you. This will remove any stress and create a relaxing atmosphere before your ceremony. It can also help to ease any pre-wedding jitters.

  • Quality Photos. There will be a lot going on during your ceremony. A first-look before your grand entrance will guarantee that you will capture stunning photos and the loving reactions between you and your partner. This is an intimate moment for you both. Therefore, having a first-look before your ceremony will let allot a certain amount of time for you to focus on capturing quality photos.

  • Better Views. Not only are you trying to look your best as you walk down the aisle, but you are also trying to catch a glimpse of your partner over the crowd. By setting aside an intimate time before your ceremony, you get to view your partner’s reaction clearly, rather than trying to view them from down the aisle, with many distractions occurring.

Seeing your partner in their wedding ensemble is a once in a lifetime experience! Be sure to set aside time for a first-look to fully experience the joy of your wedding day.
