Despite the belief, the event producer and ceremonial Mariella Carvalho defends the idea and guarantees that the moment is unforgettable for the couple. “The lenses are able to capture emotion in an extraordinary way and, after revealing the suspense that mainly involves the bride’s dress, they enjoy that time in an intimate way, without so many looks”.

As she considers the result of the moment to be an incredible experience, Mariella tells us why it is worth including the first look on her big day. Check out!

There are couples who arrange the meeting in advance, some take pets, balloons, bride and groom who are surprised by the appearance of their future wife and so on. So let your imagination run wild!

It saves time to enjoy the party: after the emotional moment of the bride and groom’s meeting, it’s the chance to take the opportunity to take the photos that would be produced right after the ceremony and, therefore, start enjoying the party earlier.

It doesn’t take away from the charm of the ceremony: if it crossed your mind, forget it! The bride’s entrance is such an inexplicable emotion that nothing is able to diminish her charm. The first look and the entrance are distinct moments, each with its own energy and poetry.

If even after knowing all the advantages of the first look you are still unsure about seeing the groom, consider going on a blind date. You can just hold hands back to back or separated by a door or wall, and then feel the emotion of the moment, in addition to exchanging a few words before “yes”.
