The Reverse First Kiss: A Playful Twist to Your First Kiss Photos!

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.

“Hiring Gabriella as our photographer was the single best decision we made on wedding day. Because we had an intimate elopement at town hall, it was important to us to capture the small details and intimate moments in a way that we could look back on our day and feel like we are reliving it. Well, Gabriella’s work does just that. She exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier with our gallery. She gave updates and clear expectations along the way so that we were never left wondering what next steps were, and was timely with getting sneak peaks and the full gallery back to us. We are an introverted couple who is not used to being in front of the camera, and Gabriella was super patient and made us feel at ease throughout the whole day. Her communication style is to be seriously commended. She also went above and beyond to scope out of the venue and found the perfect spot for us to do our private vows in. We don’t have a single negative thing to say about our experience. If you are considering working with Gabriella for your special day, do it!!

We LOVED working with Gabriella for our Wedding photography! From our first video call, she made us feel totally at ease about the whole process, and it was clear she had a ton of experience. We do not consider ourselves very photogenic, but Gabriella got AMAZING pictures from our Wedding and an Engagement shoot. She’s fun, friendly, professional, and everything you need in a Wedding photographer (or for any other event). Cannot recommend her highly enough!

“Gabriella is the BEST photographer and we could not have asked for anyone better to capture our proposal! I had intentions of interviewing multiple photographers, but after seeing her work and talking to her over the phone, I immediately booked with her. Her passion for photography is so evident. She goes above and beyond to make your shoot about YOU. She does a great job of taking control and guiding you with poses that you will love, and her candid shots are unbelievable. She had a smile on her face the entire time and we felt like a close friend was there doing this for us. Would recommend her 100 times out of 100!

Gabriella was absolutely amazing. She made the photography session so easy and effortless. Her personality is so warm and inviting, she made us feel so so comfortable during these pictures. Gabriella went above and beyond for us and I’m so grateful my significant other found her as a photographer. I would highly recommend!”
