When you’re planning your wedding day, there are a lot of things to think about. One of the decisions you’ll make is when and where to have your first look. This is the moment when you see each other for the first time on their wedding day, without any guests or distractions. It’s a very special moment that we capture with little to no interruptions. One of the main reasons couples choose to do a first look is because they want to have more time for portraits together.

Here are four reasons why you should consider having a first look on your wedding day in Jasper.

Moment of pure happines and joy!


1. It will help you relax! When the bride and groom see each other for the first time, it’s a moment of pure happiness and joy. It’s a chance for them to take a deep breath and relax before the rest of the wedding day unfolds. This is especially important if you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed out about the day ahead. A first look can also help calm any last-minute jitters that you may have. Seeing your partner before walking down the aisle will give you both peace of mind and make sure that your ceremony goes off without a hitch!

Its just about the two of you!

2. When you have your first look, it’s just the two of you and your photographers. We work as a team and will capture all the moments from two different angles. That means that you can take as much time as you need to really soak in the moment. You can hug, cry, laugh, and just be in each other’s arms without having to worry about anyone else. It’s a chance for you to truly connect with each other before the craziness of the day begins. Plus, getting all those emotions out of the way before the ceremony means that you’ll be able to enjoy your wedding day even more. Walking down the aisle will feel even more special knowing that you’ve already seen each other and shared such an intimate moment together.

Soak up the scenery!

3. Jasper is the perfect place for a first look because of its natural beauty and serene atmosphere. If you’re looking for an unforgettable wedding experience, consider having your first look in Jasper!

Take the time and make the time!

4. If you’re thinking of getting a first look, make sure to allow enough time! It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, so be sure to leave plenty of room in your schedule. And if you’re getting married outdoors, keep in mind that weather conditions can sometimes delay things. So always plan ahead and give yourself some extra time just in case!

And those are four reasons why you should consider having a first look on your wedding day! Jasper is the perfect place for this special moment because of its natural beauty and serene atmosphere.

The first look has been reinvented.

The traditional reveal of the bride walking down the aisle used to be the time when the couple sees each other for the first time. This moment has been reinvented. The first look is a more intimate moment shared between just the bride and groom. You can look into each other’s eyes, which only makes the moment more genuine. The bride isn’t worried about not tripping down the aisle. The groom isn’t trying to hold it together in front of all their guests. It is a moment when the two of you can savour the moment of seeing each other. Most couples choose to do a first look because it allows for more time together on the wedding day. Make sure that not rushed- let the moment sink in. You can cry, laugh, hug, kiss, and just simply be in the moment without having all your guests around. This not only yields beautiful one-of-a-kind images but will also leave you with some spare time to capture a few more couple’s images just after this tender moment.

The first look captures the initial reaction of the bride and groom. It allows the two to act naturally when seeing each other for the first time.

The sneak peek is ideal because you both will be looking your best.

Make sure you leave a bit of time for photos right after your first look.

Your hair and makeup are still perfectly in place and this gives you time to do any touch-ups before the ceremony. Including a sneak peek at your timeline also allows the photographers the opportunity to focus on capturing the reactions of some of the guests as the bride makes her way down the aisle during the ceremony. This is often missed because the focus is usually on the bride and groom’s expressions and reactions to one another. Finally, the sneak peek is one of the best ways to eliminate any of the wedding day jitters. Seeing each other before the ceremony will help to calm any nerves and set the tone for a beautiful day.
