Wedding Recaps: First Look

Mr. SE and I decided it was important for us to see each other before the ceremony. All wives tales aside, we believed it would make us more at ease, less anxious, and give us clarity for the ceremony. It did all of that and more. Le sigh- looking through all of these pictures gives me butterflies every time...

I'll never forget walking out into the courtyard towards my future husband. While my bridesmaids clamored up against the door (and my planner shooed them away), I tip toed my way towards my future husband. As I reached out to tap his shoulder, our photographers instructed him to turn around. The look on his face will forever be burned into my mind. I've never seen such happiness, joy, and love on my husband's face-- it was the beginning of the most magical hours of my life.

Choosing to see each other before the ceremony was the right option for us for a variety of reasons. Like I already stated, it definitely brought a sense of calm to our ceremony, and it also worked out logistically. We were able to take pictures with each other and our bridal party too. Here's some of my favorites.
