These 18 emotional pictures represent the “first look,” when the bride and groom first see each other in their wedding attire. The moment is full of genuine surprise, joy, beauty and excitement, so what better way for wedding photographers to capture the emotion of your wedding day?

Many of us tend not to expect men to cry tears of joy on their wedding day, but why not? It’s a beautiful and emotional day for everyone involved. These photos prove that grown boys do indeed cry, and that it can be a beautiful and emotional moment when they do. I hope that I too have just as emotional a reaction to my bride on my wedding day as these guys did on theirs!

These images were collected by Matt Bellassai, who posted them on Buzzfeed. They will remind some of us of our big days, and give others of us hopeful aspirations for our big days yet to come.
