I remember seeing my own bride in her wedding gown for the very first time. The anticipation of the moment, the build-up of the music as the wedding party made their way up the aisle, and the sheer beauty of my future wife in that stunning white gown was enough to nearly bring me to my knees.
The "First Look" has become a highly anticipated moment in wedding photography over the past few years. Some photographers prefer to take a few moments before the actual wedding begins to allow the groom to see their bride for the first time without the distraction of others around, and this usually leads to breathtaking images for the couple.
Some couples, however, are more traditional and choose to keep that mystery alive until the moment the bride turns the corner and starts walking up the aisle.
Either way, the absolute beauty in the "First Look" moment is something so special and so singular that these couples only get to live it once in their marriage (and for those who only marry once, in their entire lives).
In this video, produced by Mitchell Reilly Pictures, the filmmakers create a stunning montage of "First Look" moments where grooms see their brides, in their wedding gowns, for the very first time, and the results are enough to bring me to tears!
These grooms' reactions range from surprised and thrilled to awestruck and emotional. The video is a true testament to the pure love and affection these couples have for each other.
Now excuse me while I go grab the tissues!
