Why You Should Consider a Reveal (Instead of a First Look)
A “first look” is popular in the US, but here in the UK, many couples prefer something slightly different — a reveal. A reveal gives you a beautiful emotional moment without seeing your partner before the ceremony. It’s perfect if you want the traditional aisle reaction and a private moment with someone special.

A reveal gives you a beautiful emotional moment without seeing your partner before the ceremony.
It’s perfect if you want the traditional aisle reaction and a private moment with someone special.
Who Could Your Reveal Be With?
your dad
your mum
your brother or sister
your grandparents
your best friend
your child
Bridesmaids
Whoever is most meaningful to you.
These moments are always tender, genuine, and full of love.
Why Reveals Are Amazing
1. They Ease Nerves
A calm emotional moment before the ceremony helps you settle and breathe.
2. They Create Stunning Photos
Reveals always bring natural emotion — the kind you can’t stage.
3. They Don’t Replace the Aisle Moment
Your partner still gets that unforgettable first look when you walk towards them.
4. They Add a Beautiful Chapter to Your Story
It’s a moment many couples say was unexpectedly one of their favourites.
When to Do It
Reveals usually fit perfectly:
right after hair and makeup
before you get into the car
once the dress is on and everyone’s ready
We keep it calm, private and heartfelt. Just real emotion, beautifully captured.
