Trending Tuesday: Bride and Groom First Look
It's universally known that the wedding couple hides from each other until the ceremony. This adds an element of surprise for the couple, but this tradition has been changing in recent years.
Trending now is a private sneak peak between the couple before the ceremony. Once the bride is ready, the groom is taken to a photo location where he waits patiently for his bride–sometimes blindfolded. She then sneaks up behind him and lets him look at his gorgeous bride. The look on his face makes for a most breathtaking photo.
Many couples choose to do the first look privately before the ceremony because it gives them time to take their couple portraits before the events begin. This is also a great idea if your wedding is in the evening because you can have your photos taken while the sun is still out!
Consider this trend for your upcoming wedding so you can capture the exact expression on your groom's face when he opens his eyes and sees you for the first time! For more great wedding trends, visit the Wedding and Party Blog!
