Okay, brides and grooms – I’ve got a playful twist to one of the most cherished moments of your wedding day — the first kiss – that I want to share with you, today! We’re talking about the reverse first kiss photo, and trust me, it’s a game-changer!

What’s the Reverse First Kiss?

Your wedding photographer won’t be short on kissing photos from your big day, that is for sure. And while each loving moment is of course so special, instead of adding another traditional smooching photo to the gallery – why not consider switching it up? 

Instead of the usual shot of the first kiss after your marriage ceremony from your guests’ perspective, ask your photographer to step behind you and capture the first kiss from YOUR point of view. Picture this: you, your love, and a background filled with the joyful smiles, tears and applause of your closest friends and family.

Why It’s a Win:

It’s such a unique perspective! You rarely get to see the look of adoration and joy on your guest’s face during the big kiss, and this allows you to have a fresh and unique angle that captures the genuine emotion of the moment. 

It also helps prevent those awkward photos where the officiant is caught in the middle of you two sharing your first kiss as a married couple. No photobombs here!

So are you convinced, yet?

If so, just simply let your photographer know about your vision, and voilà! You’ll have a first kiss photo that stands out from the traditional shots, telling the story of your love in a fun and unforgettable way. Your wedding day is all about creating memories that reflect your unique love story, and this is just another way to creatively capture the most special moments of your big day.
