I’ve attended and photographed many weddings over the years and for me, the first dance always holds a special place in my heart. It’s almost as if time stands still during those few minutes as we hold space space for the bride and groom. It’s not only a time honored tradition, but the song you choose will forever be a part of your story. So it’ important that choose one that you will love for many years to come! It should be romantic, easy to dance to and reflect yours and your partner’s personalities. The possibilities are truly endless, but here are just a few of my personal favorites:
- “Your Song” – Elton John
- “A Thousand Years” – Christina Perri
- “All of Me” – John Legend
- “By Your Side” – Sade
- “Lucky” – Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz
- “Yellow” – Coldplay
- “Just the Way You Are” – Billy Joel
- “Let’s Stay Together” – Al Green
- “La Vie en Rose,” – Louis Armstrong
- “Perfect” – Ed Sheeran
- “Songbird” – Eva Cassidy
- “Endless Love” – Diana Ross & Lionel Richie
- “From This Moment” – Shania Twain
- “At Last” – Etta James
- “Can’t Help Falling in Love” – Elvis Presley
I added all my faves (plus a few more!) to a Spotify playlist for your enjoyment! Even if you’re not getting married, it’s still an awesome playlist for when you’re in the mood for a little romance. Check it out here!
