Why You Should Do a first look?
A First Look is a moment during the wedding day when the Bride and Groom plan to see each other for the first time. The First Look allows couples to share this special moment together in a more private setting. Unlike traditional weddings where the couple plans to see each other during the ceremony.
What is a first touch at a wedding?
A “first touch” is when you steal a few moments to yourselves before the ceremony but the groom doesn’t actually see you. Sometimes the couple will simply stand on opposite sides of a door, hold hands and bask in the moment.
What does a wedding ceremony include?
When it comes to wedding ceremonies, there’s a general outline that’s usually followed: Processional, welcome, readings, vows, kiss, pronouncement, recessional—you’re married! Or, you can take a ceremony format you like, and then customize it to reflect your relationship.
Do you take wedding photos before or after the ceremony?
Taking photos before the wedding is a new practice, kicking out the old tradition that the couple can’t see each other until the ceremony. This gives you the freedom and the time to take photos before the wedding celebration actually begins.
