Emily and mark for the win!

OBSESSED! We booked with First Look for our summer wedding at Wild Dunes and absolutely fell in love with this power team that came through to capture our day. Emily (photography) and Mark (videography) showed up and made us and our wedding party feel SO special, confident, and relaxed. They went above and beyond to get every shot we could have ever wanted captured, including detail shots, family photos, and our romantic sunset pics. They added in so many fun candids with their many ideas as we went about the day, and were so flexible to ours that came throughout the day too. They even spontaneously got us on film catching an impromptu ride on a golf cart while traveling within our venue!! I mean they were RUNNING to keep up with us and capture this moment!!!

After just 10 minutes with Emily and Mark we knew we had made the best decision with First Look. We are obsessed with them. Think no further, I promise they’re the best. Zero regrets and so many memories made with them.

Excellent videographer!!

Emily and her team were professional, punctual, and very communicative throughout the planning process and into the wedding day. We are in love with our end result! Having a wedding video is priceless and Emily can help you remember your day. She was so kind and supportive throughout the wedding day, and I’m so glad to have worked with her.

Our Statesville Destination wedding

Magical is the first word that comes to mind when I think of our wedding film! Luckily for us Emily had a last minute opening and was able to capture our big day! Our wedding film captured all of the little details, special moments and moments we wouldn’t have been able to see with out her! She truly knew how to capture each and every moment. The drone shots she took of us in our hot air balloon moments after our ceremony and capturing our guests reaction to the surprise was something I will truly treasure forever. Your big day goes by so fast it is so special to have an amazing person like Emily capture your big day to relive the special moments. Book her now or regret it later! We are so happy we did!

Amazing!!!

We would definitely recommend Emily and First Look! She was such a sweet, positive energy before and during our wedding day. Emily took the time to get to know my husband and I before the wedding day. She made our dream of the wedding video a reality. We will be recommending First Look to all of our family and friends!

One of our best decisions during planning

Working with Emily was such an easy and fun process from start to finish. We decided to get a videographer towards the end of our planning process and now we know that getting a videographer and picking Emily were two of the best decisions we made. She was comforting and knowledgeable throughout the entire planning process which really helped to build our confidence. We also found that one of Emily's biggest strengths was her direction on the day of. She made it such a fun process to capture memorable moments and she helped to direct our photographer for wonderful shots. Finally (and certainly not least) the video came out AMAZING!!! It is so spectacular to watch the wedding back and to relive all of the great memories with a beautiful soundtrack. If you're on the fence about getting a videographer, this is your sign to get one and to choose First Look!

Videography brilliance

There is no question Emily is amazing. She was full of amazing, positive energy and worked perfectly with the photographer. We just got our video back and I am beyond in love with it. My husband and I teared up watching it again. If you want the most beautiful record of your special day, don’t look any further!!!

Fast quality video!

Emily was great! She was super responsive and flexible with our 2020 wedding madness of changing venues just a few months before the wedding! She sent out the video so fast and it is amazing! I love her personality and she made it easy for us!
