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

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...

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!

    Definitely going to do a first look! Our ceremony can’t start until 4:30, so doing a first look feels like the right choice for us.


    1. It feels like it takes some of the pressure off of the day. 2. We have a special moment just the two of us. We can do a ton of our photos before so we can rejoin cocktail hour and get the party started!

    I think we are going to do a first look and our vows privately! 😊 makes me stressed thinking about saying our vows in front of 65 people ! Haha

    First look to help mitigate the waiting time between ceremony and reception for guests as we are at location far away from accommodations. We will do most of the photos before the ceremony this way!

    Yes! Definitely a first look. To take away the nerves for both of us. Also, I'm a clutz. So, I don't want him to see me slip on my dress and have that as this day's important memory.
    It'll also allow us to have a moment alone before all the craziness starts
