Wedding Photos | First Look

Whether you decide to do your first look before the ceremony, or have it while you're walking down the aisle (we've discussed that topic here and here), we love when photographers capture that amazing "first look" shot.

This collection of photos is especially fun because they focus on the groom's reaction to the bride, which is not always done.

Treehouse Wedding

This wedding from Green Wedding Shoes makes us smile - it is so incredible and sweet!  A first-look in the tree tops, and a flip-flop with the guests walking down the aisle to the bride and groom ... we're in love.

Wedding Inspiration | First Look

One of our jobs as an event planner is to help you with your timeline and think about the flow of your day, and a "first look" with your photographer is sometimes helpful to make everything effortless.  If you are unfamiliar, it's the moment you and your soon-to-be-husband/wife see each other for the first time before officially walking down the aisle.  It takes a little bit of the pressure off, instead of having that moment in front of all your guests.  One of our Preferred Vendors, Carrie Geno from Geno Photography, wrote to us about this very topic this summer here.  While we know that traditionally, brides and grooms have avoided this, these adorable first look series may sway your opinion.

Joanne can't wait to see Blake around that corner!  More from their wedding here.

So, would you consider a 'first look' on your big day?  We would love to hear your feedback!
