First Look: Why it creates the best memories

December 26, 2023 -

The first meeting between the two brides and grooms – the first look! A truly magical and emotional moment! It's the moment you see each other for the last time as engaged couples before your future together as a married couple begins! A moment that, as experience shows, is accompanied by numerous emotions and tears.

The challenge of the traditional first look

Many couples traditionally experience this moment during the wedding ceremony. However, a small problem often arises: Due to all the excitement of this moment, some couples suffer a kind of blackout later on and barely remember anything about it. It's truly a shame if no memories of this special moment remain. 

Celebrate the first look in advance!

My tip: Celebrate the first look in advance! Plan it so that you can have a moment just the two of you. Keeping the first look intimate and private has so many advantages. This moment is all yours, and you can savor it as you wish, without the eyes of countless guests staring at you or having to get on with the ceremony. You can also let your emotions and tears flow freely, because there's still a bit of time afterward to touch up any smudged makeup. 

If you still want to create a traditional first look for your guests at the wedding ceremony, that's possible too - without anyone having to know that you've already seen each other!

Tip: First looks are always something very special. This doesn't just apply to the bride and groom! An emotional moment can also occur during a first look between the groom and his parents, or between the bride and her best friend or sister. Believe me, this creates magical moments that should definitely be captured.
