First Look or Wait Until You Walk Down The Aisle?!

Amanda, on August 28, 2023 at 17:49 Posted in Plan a wedding 2 27

Are you doing a "first look" and taking pictures before your wedding ceremony? Or are you waiting until you walk down the aisle?! Some couples want to save that magic moment for the ceremony, but there's no denying how helpful a first look can be on your photography timeline!

First Look or Wait Until You Walk Down The Aisle?!

My husband was very adamant about wanting to see me for the first time at the alter and not before hand! That's one thing he did ask for on our wedding day and our pictures can definitely see the reaction!

    We are planning to do a First Touch. He'll be facing away from me and I will walk up behind him and stand back-to-back. We can hold hands but he won't see me. Then we want to read our personal vows just the two of us and save the reveal for the altar and just do the recited vows from the officiant in front of everyone. Best of both worlds when you want to wait but personal vows and public speaking make both of us nervous lol

    We are waiting. I also want to sleep apart but we are sharing a room in Cuba so don't think that will happen.
    And he absolutely sleeps crappy when we're not in the same bed. He's such a suck!!!

    We are doing a First Look. I wanted to have a moment with him to just share between us. It will still be super special walking down that aisle and seeing him there. So excited... 25 days away!!! Smiley heart

    Definitely for the first time as I’m walking down the aisle! Can’t wait for him to see my dress & to see his reaction. Love the old school way!

    My husband and I waited for the aisle! We both wanted a little bit of tradition, and it worked for us!

    We are waiting for the aisle! I wanted to go full blown traditional and sleep separately the night before as well, so the first time he sees me on our wedding day will be walking down the aisle.

    I want to do a first look with my dad, and then have my FH see me for the first time walking down the aisle.

    I was torn between this. But my husband was adamant that he wanted to wait to see me as I walked in. So I made sure to have my brother take pictures of him instead of me, to see his reaction. It worked out beautifully.
