Should You Do First-Look Wedding Photos? Here's What to Consider

"You spend a majority of your wedding day surrounded by other people — getting ready with your bridesmaids, taking family photos, exchanging vows in front of all your loved ones, and then dancing the night away with your best friends. The first look, for us, was the calm before the storm, an important reminder that when you strip away the sequin tablecloths, budget planning, table assignments, and playlist selections, it comes down to you and him, for as long as you both shall live. It was peaceful, emotional, and sacred. This moment, right here, is what the day is actually about." — Tara Block, editorial director, Living
