Yes, first looks are still trending in 2024. In fact, they continue to be a popular choice among couples for several reasons. A first look allows the bride and groom to see each other privately before the ceremony, which can help calm nerves and provide a special, intimate moment just for them. This trend not only makes for beautiful, emotional photographs but also offers practical benefits, such as having more time for couple and bridal party photos before the ceremony, leading to a smoother timeline for the rest of the day​ (zola.com)​​ (Wedding Forward)​.

Moreover, first looks can enhance the overall wedding experience. By having this private moment, couples can express their genuine emotions without the pressure of an audience, creating heartfelt and memorable images. It also allows them to spend more time with their guests after the ceremony, as many of the formal photos will already have been taken​ (Easy Weddings)​.


If you're planning your wedding in 2024 and considering a first look, it's a trend that can add both emotional depth and logistical ease to your special day.
