Whether you choose to do a first look or not, is a personal choice for each couple. I have seen tik toks ranging from The Bride doing a first look with the groomsman, The Groom with the Bridesmaids, The Bride and Groom, or anything in-between really.
More couples are opting away with "traditional" traditions, and are incorporating their own unique flair - and rightfully so!
Blake and I chose not to do a first look, because we wanted to capture the in-the-moment feeling on the aisle. I wouldn't change it!
We also met half-way down the aisle. My beautiful dress maker Helen, lent us this concept. "You start your lives separate. Then you meet. Then you move together toward your future." From the moment she told me, I just knew that was exactly what we needed to do! Read more about Helen in my blog @SaturdaySpotlight
The one thing that was super important was having Blake's reaction when I walked down the aisle. I desired this shot, because it is in that moment that the full depth of his love would show on his face - and boy did it ever!
He told me he was nervous beforehand, and I'm not surprised - he doesn't like being the center of attention. I was excited to get to him - that's all that mattered to me. To be honest, I don't remember walking down the aisle - all I remember is him. It was as if the whole world faded away and we were surrounded by a bubble of love - corny right?!
Whatever you choose to do, I highly suggest adding this picture to your photographer's list!
