Should You Have a First Look?

Couple first looks are becoming very popular at weddings.

Here are a few reasons to having a first look and throwing tradition to the wind!

  1. Sharing an Intimate Moment!
    • First looks allow you and your partner to share a special moment alone together before the ceremony. This can be especially sweet since it’s hard to have a moment between the two of you during the ceremony. Also, wedding days can be hectic and you may not get as much alone time with your love as you’d like! A first look allows you to have that special time together without any interruptions!
  2. Helps Calm Your Nerves!
    • Weddings can be so nerve-racking and exciting all at the same time! A first look allows you and your partner to talk to each other and calm each others’ nerves before the ceremony!
  3. More Photos!
    • First looks also allows you to have more photos with just you and your love. After the ceremony we have to do family formals, bridesmaids/groomsman photos, and couple photos! That’s a lot  to get done in a short amount of time. If you do a first look before your wedding ceremony then you’ll have couple photos first, before the stress of family and friend photos! (Because we all know how stressful getting family together for photos can be!)
  4. Getting that Special Reaction!
    • Another plus of having a first look is getting your partner’s reaction to you! Just having that moment caught on camera can be magical! Check out this first look from Westfield Golf Club!
  5. More time with friends and family!
    • Having a first look will allow you to do your couple portraits before the ceremony.  Meaning after the ceremony you can go straight to cocktail hour and be with your guests!

I have used Casey for both my graduation photos and very beautiful photos with my partner. On both occasions, Casey was both an excellent listener in allowing us to take shots that we liked but also gave fantastic direction. As a darker skinned woman, I am always concerned with lighting in photos and Casey not only listened to me but ensured that the photos would be lit in a flattering way. In regards to the pictures themselves, they are stunning. Each and every photo can be sent to family and friends. I hope to use Casey in the future for other occasions. If you are looking for a photographer in the DMV area, please look no further!

Casey Marie took photos for our engagement session and a small ceremony. Casey is absolutely fantastic!! She was able to capture us candidly and make us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We could not have been happier with how the photos turned out, her editing style is elegant and unique. She is also very professional, was on time the day of the session and provided the photos in the timeframe we were expecting. We recommend her 100%!

We recommend her 100%!

Casey, as a photographer was absolutely amazing! She was on-time, professional, and really knew how to capture that "kodak" moment. I would recommend Casey to all my friends, family, members, and colleagues who are looking for some professional photos that won't break the bank. I look forward to shooting my maternity pictures and baby pictures in the future.
