Everything You Need To Know About Daddy-Daughter First Looks

Should I do a First Look with my Dad on my wedding day?

A Daddy-Daughter First Look is for all the brides who have a sweet spot in their hearts for their dad. If that sounds like you, my answer is absolutely yes! For a lot of Dads, this is when everything feels real and it hits him…”My baby girl is getting MARRIED” – so it’s an even bigger yes if you think your dad is going to be especially emotional when he sees you in your wedding dress for the first time.

Have peace of mind knowing your once-in-a-lifetime memories won’t be missed

How much time does a Daddy-Daughter First Look take?

These are precious moments to capture, and I highly encourage any Daddy’s girl to make time in their timeline for this moment. I usually dedicate about 15 minutes in the wedding day timeline for Daddy-Daughter First Looks, it doesn’t take long at all and the memories captured are pure gold.

The hardest part is making sure Dad shows up on time! If Dad doesn’t show up on time, the whole timeline can get thrown off. I would recommend building this first look into the timeline and making sure Dad knows exactly where he needs to be and when.

How can I make my dad feel special on my wedding day?

If you or your dad just aren’t loving the idea of your own First Look, another sweet idea is to have the father of the bride escort the bride to her first look with the groom! I have also had brides give their fathers special gifts like a personalized tie, cuff links, tie clip…there are so many options out there.
