When it comes to wedding photography and videography, the "First Look" has become a cherished tradition that many couples are eager to embrace.
These sessions offer a unique and intimate opportunity for the couple to see each other in their wedding attire for the first time, typically before the actual wedding day.
But is it worth it?
Here we dive into the why and what of First Looks.
Let's get started!
What is a "First Look?"
First Look Sessions are photo and video sessions that occur on a day separate from the wedding. The essence of these sessions lies in the raw, unfiltered emotions that are captured when the couple sees each other for the first time in their wedding outfits. It’s a private moment, shared just between the two of them, away from the hustle and bustle of the wedding day.
The First Look Video
One of the highlights of First Look Sessions is the video that captures the groom's reaction as he lays eyes on his bride in her wedding dress for the first time. This moment is filled with excitement, joy, and often tears of happiness. The groom's reaction is a priceless memory, showcasing genuine love and affection, which is beautifully immortalized in the video. Remember to add video when do your First Look session.
Benefits of First Look Sessions
1. Relaxation and Enjoyment
First Look Sessions allow couples to relax and enjoy the moment without the pressures and time constraints of the wedding day. They can take their time, savor the experience, and truly connect with each other.
2. Perfect Lighting
Scheduling the session on a different day allows photographers and videographers to choose the perfect time for golden lighting, often during the golden hour, when the light is soft and flattering. This results in stunning photos and videos with a natural, romantic glow.
3. Gorgeous Locations
Couples can choose a special location that holds significance to them or simply a beautiful spot they love. This could be a scenic beach, a lush garden, a historic building, or any place that offers a picturesque setting for their First Look Session.
4. Unrushed Moments
Unlike the wedding day, where timelines can be tight, a separate First Look Session gives couples the luxury of time. They can take as many photos and videos as they want without feeling rushed, ensuring that every moment is captured perfectly.
