Bride Tips From Dax Photography: The First Look. Some couples choose to have a first look before the ceremony. It allows couples more time to spend together the day of their wedding. There are countless ways to do a first look but my favorite has to be the bride sneaking up behind the waiting groom...it's a beautiful and intimate moment when he turns around. One of my favorite things that I've seen during the first look was a bride and groom who read letters to each other about how much they meant to one another and what this day and future meant to them. It set the stage for a truly emotional and fantastic day. If you choose to do a first look make sure you let your vendors know and if you have some ideas that you want to try or incorporate please let them know. www.daxphotography.com
