The split-second when a groom first lays eyes on his beautiful bride is, quite possibly, the most magical moment in every wedding. While we love the traditional route of sharing it with family and friends, we've also fallen in love with pre-wedding "first looks". This recent trend gives couples the opportunity to see one-another just before the ceremony in a private setting with only the photography and (maybe) a close friend or family member. These quiet first looks are simple, beautiful and allow the lovers to share one last intimate moment together before a night of celebrating. Needless to say, we're obsessed and couldn't resist sharing 10 of the most heartwarming first look photos we've ever seen.
