The Beauty of First-Look Photos

Helps You Calm Down

No matter how long you’ve known your partner, you’ll still experience the wedding day jitters. It’s absolutely natural. Wedding day anxiety can really come in the way of you enjoying the day to the fullest. This is where getting the first-look photoshoot can help you. Meeting your partner just before the wedding ceremony starts and seeing the look of love and affection in your partner’s eyes will help you calm down. Once you’ve got your nerves under control, you’ll be able to enjoy and absorb the rest of the day as it goes. 

Let’s You Enjoy a Few Intimate Moments

When you first look at your bride or groom, you may want to wrap your arms around them in the warmest of embraces and just let the feeling settle that they’ll be all yours in a few moments. However, doing that with an audience around won’t be as heartfelt and natural as you would want it to be. With a first-look photoshoot, you’ll enjoy the beautiful moment when you first see each other to the fullest, when there’s no crowd around. It’s just you and your partner, gazing at each other in awe and with eyes full of love. After the ceremony, you’ll be mostly around guests and won’t really get to enjoy the togetherness until the evening winds up.

Better Pictures

The first-look photo session will allow you to get better pictures. First-look photos are taken way before the ceremony starts, which means you’ll have plenty of time to take as many pictures as you want. It also enables you to get pictures when the natural lighting is still good. By the time you’re done with your wedding vows and rituals, the sun will already be setting, and with guests around, you won’t be able to get the couple shoot done. Not to mention the cheesy poses that you might not be comfortable doing in front of an audience!

First-look photos are the best way to preserve the moment's beauty when you see your partner as a bride or groom for the first time. These are the moments you would want to preserve for the rest of your life, and the right NC wedding photographers, like the ones we’ve got at Doug Burke Photography will do absolute justice in preserving these moments.
