As a San Diego wedding videographer, one moment always stands out – when the groom sees his bride for the first time. It’s an emotional, raw moment, and it’s one I take great care in capturing.

The Nervousness Before the Big Moment

From the moment I arrive on a wedding day, the energy is palpable. The bride is surrounded by her loved ones, making last-minute touches, while the groom is with his closest friends and family. Even though he’s surrounded by support, the nerves are usually visible to me as he waits for the big moment.

The Magical Moment of Seeing the Bride

Then, the moment arrives. The groom sees his bride for the first time. The nerves dissipate as they lock eyes, and everything shifts. The tension melts away as the groom’s face lights up with joy, and sometimes, he is overcome with emotion, breaking down in pure, overwhelming tears, laughter, or a combination of both.



How I Capture the Moment

With over 10 years of experience and having filmed over 250 weddings, I know exactly where to be when this moment happens. Capturing these emotions is something I’ve perfected. The video below showcases a handful of these unforgettable moments, captured from the 30 weddings I filmed in 2024. The groom’s expressions say it all – love, excitement, and relief.


The Moment After: Calm, Connection, and Love

Once that first look happens, the couple becomes more relaxed, present, and connected to each other. The nerves may not always be completely gone, but the couple is at ease, fully immersed in the joy of the day. As a videographer, it’s my job to capture these moments that make the day unforgettable.
