When Molly and Tommy decided to do a first look session one week before their LDS temple sealing, they chose the perfect location to make it unforgettable. Bay Creek Country Club on Virginia’s Eastern Shore provided the stunning backdrop for this intimate moment, where Tommy would see Molly in her wedding dress for the very first time.

Why Choose a First Look Session Before Your Temple Wedding

First look sessions offer LDS couples a unique opportunity to share an intimate moment before their temple sealing day. These sessions allow couples to experience the magic of seeing each other in wedding attire while creating beautiful portraits in a relaxed setting. For Molly and Tommy, scheduling their first look one week prior to their temple ceremony gave them the perfect balance of anticipation and celebration.

The Perfect Eastern Shore Setting

Bay Creek Country Club‘s private access made this session truly special. The Eastern Shore’s natural beauty provided multiple stunning backdrops, from manicured grounds to waterfront views. The venue’s exclusivity ensured Molly and Tommy could focus entirely on each other during this precious moment, without distractions or crowds.

Capturing the Golden Hour Magic

Timing is everything for first look sessions, and we scheduled Molly and Tommy’s session during the golden hour before sunset. The Eastern Shore’s expansive sky created the perfect canvas of warm, romantic light. As the sun began to set over the water, every photograph captured the ethereal glow that made this moment even more magical.

Planning Your Own LDS First Look Session

Consider scheduling your first look session at a meaningful location that reflects your love story. While some couples opt to do their “First Look” before going into the temple, a separate day is also a great alternative. The Eastern Shore offers countless beautiful venues, and the key is choosing a spot that feels personal to you as a couple while providing the privacy and beauty your special moment deserves.
