Deciding whether to share a First Look moment before your wedding ceremony is a deeply personal choice for every couple. It’s a private, intimate moment that can offer a calm and cherished connection before the whirlwind of the day truly begins. My husband and I chose to have a First Look, and it became one of the most memorable parts of our wedding. It allowed us to laugh, breathe, and just be together before the official ceremony.
