The First Look Before Your Wedding

The First Look

The first look before the wedding ceremony is a trend we love. It offers a private moment for the couple to see each other for the first time on their special day, away from the eyes of guests and the hustle of the event. This intimate encounter allows for an emotional connection, setting the tone for the wedding day, as well as the lifelong journey ahead. And you can't find a more beautiful backdrop than our Spokane wedding venue!

Creating a Personal and Intimate Atmosphere

To ensure the first look is as personal and intimate as possible, consider the following elements:

• Find an area that is private, with minimal distractions. 

• Consider having just your photographer present. If you truly want a private moment, consider having your photographer stand farther away.

• Play a soft melody or your special song in the background.

• Incorporate personal elements, such as a handwritten note or a small gift.

  
  

  **Make your wishes known to your family and friends so they don’t try to crash your moment. 

Reading Personal Vows

Quite often, our couples choose to read personal vows to each other and choose not to read these at the ceremony.  For help writing personal vows, check out our blog on, “Writing Personal Vows”.

The first look before the wedding ceremony is an opportunity to create a lasting memory that is uniquely yours. By infusing personal touches and sharing your vows in this private setting, you lay a foundation of love and commitment that carries into your wedding day and beyond.
