Wedding First Look - Things to Consider

Events by Emma Currie

JULY 18, 2021

One of my bride-to-be’s recently asked, and then I realised it’s something that many couples want to include in their day but don’t know how to plan for it or what to consider is a First Look. So what is a first look? The First Look allows couples to share a special moment together. How is it usually done?
