Red Rock Wedding Formals in Utah | Alyse + Carsen

I am so in love with Alyse and Carsen’s sweet first look that they had. They decided to do a first look before the wedding day so that way they didn’t have to worry about fitting formals into the timeline on the wedding day and so that they could pick a location of their dreams to go to. I think that this is just the perfect reasons why any couple should consider doing formals before the wedding day.

Here are some of the specific benefits of having a first look and formals before the wedding day:

• More time for photos: Taking formals before the ceremony gives us more time to get all of the necessary photos done without having to rush. This is especially important if you have a large family or wedding party.

• Better lighting: The lighting of the wedding day as well as the timeline can be tricky, when you plan a formals session before the wedding it is easier to achieve the exact vibe and lighting that you are going for.

• More relaxed atmosphere: Both the couple and the photographer are more likely to be relaxed before the ceremony. This can lead to more natural and candid photos.

• Private moment for the couple: First looks can be a very special and intimate moment for the couple. It gives them a chance to see each other for the first time in their wedding attire and to share a private moment before the ceremony.

• Less stress on the wedding day: Taking formals before the ceremony can help to reduce stress on the wedding day. The couple doesn't have to worry about taking photos after the ceremony, and they can just relax and enjoy the reception.

If you are considering having a first look and formals before your wedding day, I highly recommend it. It is a great way to capture the day in a special way and to create lasting memories.
