Nothing Like the First Time: Our Absolute *Favorite* First Looks!

photo Eden Strader + wedding design by Wild Heart Events

First looks before the ceremony have pretty much become a staple on the wedding day. While we still have love for the old school “see him or her for the first time down the aisle” look, there really is something special about capturing that first incredible moment. Not to mention, every time we ask a couple their favorite part of the day, the highlight tends to revolve around those quiet times together before the craziness takes off.

In that spirit, we’ve rounded up first looks that will make you cry, laugh, and truly feel the joy! Some are creative, some are breathtaking, and all are a peek inside those human moments that make us LOVE love. After all, there’s nothing like the first time, is there?

In 3, 2, 1…you may now see the bride!
