The look on his face.

The best part of a first look is the look on the groom’s face when he finally sees his bride. When the bride gets all dolled up and she’s ready to walk down the aisle, but first she lets her groom see her…it’s priceless. I love first looks for so many reasons, but one specifically is that the pictures are often tear jerkers. It’s the sweetest moment when the bride and groom have their special time together before all the craziness. I like to think of it as a quick second to just take a breath and enjoy the day. I also love the pictures when the bride is sneaking up behind him and the anticipation is building! Ah, so many wonderful aspects of a first look.

Take a look at some of my favorite first looks that were captured on camera and try not to tear up, I dare you.

These are the wedding photos that these couples will show their friends, family and one day maybe even their kids. Some memories probably feel impossible to describe, but for these couples they have pictures that will help them never forget. A picture really is worth a thousand words.
