DKP Blog
Rethink The "First Look"
TAKE YOUR 7 SECONDS
Why Stay With
Hundred's of Years of Tradition?
Why to NOT
See each other BEFORE the aisle?
TAKE A MOMENT
& THINK ABOUT THIS …
You Are Not ‘Married’
Until after the Wedding Ceremony, Right?
During the "First Look",
The imagery and videos
Are not yet of a married couple, Right?
You are not wearing your Wedding rings yet, Right?
In our 20 Years of experience,
Couples who have chosen to have a '"First Look"
at their Wedding,
ONLY do this to save time.
They are cheating themselves out of the deep,
heartfelt emotions they both feel
when seeing each other for the first time on the aisle
in front of all their loved ones to witness.
Read the next paragraph Carefully ...
Close Your Eyes - Envision this...
In lieu of a "First Look,"
During Your Ceremony,
Let your Spouse-To-Be enjoy the moments up until it's time to take
your ONCE IN A LIFETIME walk.
Have him/her turn their back,
facing away from the aisle ….. ( or Blindfold them )
Get yourself positioned with your Dad
or your loved one
The person who will be escorting you down the aisle.
Pause at the beginning of the aisle,
usually in line with the last rows,
(you + whomever is walking you down the aisle)
Take a long pause.
Take Your 7 SECONDS
For that moment,
All Eyes Are On You.
Except Your Spouse-To-Be...
Let all of your loved ones soak in your beauty,
Your immense joy!

Take a deep breath,
Take a bunch of mental images of the entire room.
Tip : This gives photographers time to catch
that exact moment right before your loved one
turns to see you for the FIRST TIME,
that perfect reaction
Organically!
Then turning quickly to get your reaction as you start down the aisle.
Especially if you only hired one photographer to capture
your entire wedding day.

HOW THEY ASKED by The Knot :
Your Spouse-To-Be will be
THE LAST PERSON
IN THE ROOM TO SEE YOU.
At this moment, have your Officiant / Best-Person
next to your forever love
tell them to turn around and face you.
Your Spouse-To-Be will be the
VERY LAST PERSON
IN THAT MOMENT
TO SEE YOU.
The emotions we have captured over the years
of this moment are PRICELESS!
We have won countless awards with images
caught of this very moment
Take Your 7 Seconds
Videographers and Photographers alike
are usually the ones
who will advise you both to have
a "First Look" on your Wedding Day.
This is so that they can get
intimate footage of the two of you
before the Wedding Ceremony.
Aside from the reasons above,
Now think of the time and money invested
into your Wedding Day.
Why would you want to not have that crazy
built up emotion on the aisle?
Why would you not want
Your best friends + family members
to witness your forever love
seeing you for the first time?
Why would you want to rob
the most important people in your life
the most exciting part of the Wedding?

How They Asked by THe Knot !
We have asked countless guests at weddings ...
What is your favorite part of the wedding day …
HANDS DOWN ...
It’s the reaction of witnessing the couple
see each other for the very first time!
Please Consider Our Advice.
Do not rob all of us from witnessing
the most exciting part of the wedding day!
Having a "FIRST LOOK"
DOES NOT save time!
Any Seasoned Wedding Photographer will be able
to capture hundreds of images
during the cocktail hour.
Replace the idea of having a "First Look"
with an : “ I LOVED YOU FIRST “ moment instead.
This is what we call "Daddy’s First Look."
Honor your parents, They Loved You First!
Your parents deserve being honored on your Wedding Day.
After all, next to you both,
this is a very special day for them.
