Deciding on Your First Look 

Hey there, lovely brides-to-be! Let's dive into one of the most romantic, yet difficult decisions you'll make on your wedding day – the first look. It's a moment filled with anticipation, nerves, and endless possibilities, but how do you know which kind of first look makes sense for you? Let me help! So, picture this:

It’s your wedding day and you’re bathed in the warm, golden glow of a fall sunset. Sounds dreamy, right? But here's the catch – if you're planning to tie the knot during that magical golden hour, you might want to rethink the traditional first look at the ceremony. Trust me, I've been there, and I've seen how that enchanting light can slip away all too quickly.

Anticipation in Touch: Embracing the First Touch Experience

But HEY, maybe you're longing for a different kind of connection – one that's filled with anticipation and longing. Enter the first touch. It’s a sweet, romantic compromise that lets you feel your partner's touch without spoiling the big reveal. It's a moment of quiet connection, and a gentle reminder that you're in this together, every step of the way.

At the end of the day, it's all about what feels right for you. Whether you choose to have a first look or wait until the ceremony, remember that there's no wrong answer. What matters most is that you do what speaks to your heart and fills you joy and excitement. So go ahead, embrace all the options, and let your love story unfold in the most beautiful way possible.



Embrace the Intimacy: The Beauty of Pre-Ceremony First Looks

Fear NOT. There's a solution that's just as romantic – a quiet first look session before the ceremony kicks off. Imagine running away with your partner for just a moment of quiet intimacy, surrounded by nothing but privacy and love. It's a chance to capture those raw, unfiltered emotions without missing out on a single precious moment of daylight. 

Now of course, let's talk about the feels. If you're anything like me, you're a sucker for those tender, intimate moments. That's why I cannot recommend a pre-ceremony first look enough. There's something incredibly special about sharing that private exchange with your partner, away from the hustle and bustle of the day. It's a chance to pause, breathe, and revel in the sheer magic of the moment… without any distractions.
