At North Market Venue we like to suggest doing a first look! Imagine it’s your wedding day and instead of waiting until your ceremony, you both share a few minutes to yourself before. You get to truly look at each other, appreciate the beauty in one another, and soak in how meaningful the day is for y’all. First looks can be such a beautiful intimate moment between you and your forever person. Here’s a few reasons why you and your fiancé should consider doing one!
One of the benefits of having a first look is that can calm your nerves before the ceremony. In working many weddings, we’ve noticed most people’s nerves come from the amount of attention that is on you when you walk down the aisle. It can be overwhelming for some in the first few moments, so having your partner’s full attention before can bring a sense of peace leading up to that.
It’s also a great moment to share wedding day gifts or handwritten notes has been a popular one lately. We have had couples who have recited the traditional vows but have shared letters of love and reflection during their first look since it’s a more intimate time during your wedding day. It can be easier to truly express yourself with just your person.
Doing a first look before your ceremony can really save you a lot of time during your reception! When you do your first look at North Market Venue we love to suggest you go ahead and knocking out your couple’s portraits. That way when your ceremony is over, y’all aren’t having to leave your family and guests behind to take pictures and missing some of your reception time.
There is truly nothing sweeter than witnessing those special moments between two people before they embark on the best day of their lives!
