The first look

Shot from behind so the reaction, not the reveal, stays in focus.

About this frame

The first look is the one moment of a wedding day that cannot be repeated and cannot be staged. Point the camera at the dress and you get a nice photograph of a dress. Point it at the face and you get the reason anyone booked you.

So the position was planned the day before: bride foreground and sharp, groom behind and soft, walking into frame. One camera on the reaction, a second wide for the edit, and nobody standing where either of them could see us.

  • Position agreed in advance from a site visit
  • Two cameras, one on the reaction and one wide
  • Natural light, no reset, single take
