You’ve picked the dress, said yes to forever, and now it’s time to decide: Will you do a first look… or will your partner see you for the first time in that “OMG” moment walking down the aisle?
As someone who’s helped countless couples capture their most epic “I do” energy through the lens of a photo booth, I’ve seen it all. From teary-eyed private moments to full-out glam squad entrances—there’s no wrong answer. But let’s break down your options, especially if you’re trying to balance timelines, traditions, and TikTok-worthy magic.
A first look is a sweet, private moment before the ceremony where the couple sees each other for the first time. Cue the photographer (and the tissues). It’s your chance to soak in each other’s glow without 100 eyeballs staring at you.
Want to take it up a notch? I've seen couples turn this into a mini-photo shoot moment complete with a custom backdrop from Amethyst Star Ventures—yes, that’s us Tracy Dapp of Inked Events Burlap and Lace Events and Florals ! Think: flower walls, monograms, or even a little confetti action.
Your photo booth isn’t just for the reception—it can star in the pre-ceremony magic too! Imagine stepping into your first look moment, then right into a mirrored booth with a custom overlay saying “We Saw Forever Today.” At Amethyst Star Ventures, we’ve done everything from romantic GIFs to voice-recorded guest messages.
Want florals that match your backdrop? Dawn Klintworth at Burlap and Lace knows how to create a bloom moment you’ll never forget.

No matter what you choose, the day is yours. Whether it’s a teary-eyed reveal or a surprise aisle walk that ends with a dip kiss in front of our 360 video booth, just make sure it feels like you.
