One of the most magical moments of the wedding day is when the couple sees each other for the first time. Don’t get me wrong, we love the first kiss and the first dance and the vows and all the happy tears in between!
You see, this is something that many don’t talk about but it’s truly a special moment. The anticipation of the day ahead builds up and so many of our brides are visibly on pins and needles waiting for that moment to see their significant other. It’s why we love first looks. Seeing the joy and the relief and magic of seeing each other for the first time it’s truly so sweet. For the couple to share that moment is where the magic lies!
Take a look at MaryClaire and Cory’s first look and the rest of their truly magical, romantic and warm Christmas Wedding. We loved the beautiful twinkle lights, the candles and the wintry elements Weddings by Epic brought to life.
And can we also mention how excited and fun their exit is?! And don’t forget to check out their Photo Booth photos.
