Prayer during First Look?

Dana, on September 3, 2013 at 1:23 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8

I really would like to have a photo of FH and I saying a prayer together before our ceremony, but we're also doing a First Look. The most logical time to do our prayer would be during our First Look when we're alone and it's quiet. I've seen cutesy photos with the bride & groom holding hands from two different rooms (like the photo below) but since we'll see one another during the First Look, and don't need to be separated for our prayer, I was wondering if anyone had a unique idea on how to capture our prayer in a picture without it looking like we're simply holding hands with our eyes closed.

    I can't really think of a time when people hold hands, close their eyes and look down other than in prayer. I don't think you need to add anything.

    I have to admit that I'm not even religious and I think pictures of couples praying before the wedding are really beautiful and emotional.

    Hi Date Twin! We're doing a first touch similar to the pic with a prayer. But if you're doing first looks, perhaps one of the shots can be to hold hands facing each other, with your head bowed...and forehead touching each other?

    Kind of similar to this pic.

    We will pray together too during the first look ... it will probably end up being the two of us facing each other and holding both hands with our heads bowed and eyes closed. Anything beyond that would feel staged and that's not really what I/we would want

    ETA: YES like that pic that HeWasHeavenSent added! But that's how we would do it anyway if we were standing up

    You could add a bible like the picture above although that seems a little staged. The heads together looks great though.

    Fair point, Eleanor. And thank you, Date Twin, for sharing that photo!! I couldn't find any on Google but now that I see it, I think that will work out well. It clearly looks like they are praying. Thanks, too, for your input, Kate! I agree I don't want anything that looks "staged" since this is an important picture to us! Smiley smile

    Maybe instead of holding hands like that, hold hands in a praying position with your heads touching. Idk how to describe it and I can't find a picture Smiley tongue
