Intimate Moment When a Groom First Sees His Bride (Grab the Tissues!)

Wedding videographers Mitchell Reilly Pictures compiled 12 grooms' reactions.

— -- There’s just something about that moment when a groom first sees his bride that tugs on the heartstrings.

Wedding videographers Mitchell Reilly Pictures have captured that powerful moment on camera for more brides and grooms than they can count, and decided it was time to compile the raw emotion into one video for the rest of the world to enjoy.

The video, which has more than 750,000 views in five days, is a project Mirka envisioned for more than a year, but “was waiting until the right grooms moments came about,” he said.

Their reactions are all different -- “from sentimental to celebratory, from awestruck to overjoyed,” the video explains -- but for groom Brad Sherk, it was more than he had ever imagined.

"I know full well why I reacted the way I did,” he explained. “The build-up of anticipation to the moment off seeing the girl who I was about to spend my entire life with was finally here, and she looked more beautiful than I could ever imagine."

The most rewarding part for Mirka and fellow owner Mark Rauwerda, however, is the “privilege to be there to film such genuine love."
