Green or Red Light: First Look?

I'm doing a first look for practical and sentimental reasons. Plus I'm surprising my fiancé with a joke first look that his best man is doing!!

I would give green light! I think it's a nice personal moment to share in with each other and can help with the nerves of the day.

I think my FH and I NEED a first look to get the initial emotions out of the way otherwise we will both be crying too much when I walk down the isle.

Red Light for my FH & I. The first time he wants to see me is when I walk down the aisle, BUT its a Green Light for my Father and I ... we will be capturing the moment my Dad see's me for the first time.

Green light! It works out better for us in terms of overall logistics of the day - and I think it will calm our nerves to see one another beforehand!

I definitely want a first look! I think it will be such a great moment in time to capture. It’s a moment you and your spouse can cherish forever. Plus there is so many unique and creative ways to do your first look, make it fun by do something that coincides with both your characters.

I think they are beautiful! I love when they are able to caption the emotions of the bride and groom in photos but it just wasn’t for us. When I brought up the subject I was surprised my FH was also against it. There is something special about that first look walking down the aisle. If all goes as planned I would have a first look with my dad ❤️

I am as well on the fence. My FH does not care as we are both not super traditional. This has been super helpful

Yellow light. I would ask your future spouse. My FH is very laid back and easy going and through this entire wedding process would give input when asked and was a whatever makes you happiest kind of answer. When asked about the first look he was totally against it. He said his biggest want is to see me the first time walking down the aisle at the ceremony. We are having a more traditional timeline, ceremony at 1pm and reception at 5pm with a break for photos in between.

Green light ! We are having our ceremony & reception at the same place 10 min from the city with a lot of international guests, so the ceremony is later and only 1 hr between them. This way we get the most out of our photographer and videographer, and also get pics in a few different locations!

It also makes the first look an intimate one between us.

Green light.
We did a first look and I highly suggest it. It was just my Husband and myself with our photographer, and it was a nice little moment to talk before walking down the isle. This also gave us the ability to do all our wedding pictures before the ceremony!

Red light. We decided against this

Green light! We are both sappy and want to get past some of our tears and jitters before tye ceremony, just the two of us! Plus then we have more time for pictures beforehand and can enjoy the cocktail hour greeting guests!

I LOVE the idea of the first look. Pictures come out amazing but I want to save the fist look with my FH when I walk down the isle so I am going to do a first look with my dad. Just an idea if its something you're thinking of doing

Red light! This is not for us at all! I want that moment as I come down the aisle

Red light. While I definitely see the appeal, it's one of the few things that my FH has been traditional or requested (not to see me in the dress until the ceremony....we don't care so much about seeing each other the day of in normal clothes)

View quoted message Same I like the idea but don't want to see FH until I walking down the aisle I'm doing a firstlook with my father as well

Red light were gonna see each other at the ceremony

Red light!! No way! We both want the anticipation of seeing each other for the first time at either end of the aisle ♥️

Greenish. I'm not doing a first look with my FH but I do love the idea of it. So I decided to do a first look with my dad.

Red light since we had seen each others outfits and coordinated accordingly to match.

This is something that I would like to do, for two reasons: 1) it will be a moment just for us, 2) I do not want to have that ugly cry face in front of everyone! LOL!

Red light, my FH wants to see me for the first time when I walk down the aisle. We're planning a first touch instead to calm my nerves

Green light. We both want to focus on family during the reception and it'll give us the most time with everyone. Plus it'll be dark by 5PM

Red. We want the aisle moment. We might do a first touch though.

Green light! We’re also using the daylight to get some other pictures out of the way.

Green Light - it works better for our timing to do this, with a later ceremony, and we are quite looking forward to our own special moment.

Red light- it was really important to me to have us not see each other until the ceremony.

On the fence. I think I would like it but FH is more traditional and wanted that to be when we walk down the aisle. Though lately the idea has grown on him. I would also like to get most photos out of the way beforehand to allow more time with guests so it will likely be a green light!

Green light! We have a big wedding and I’m very nervous about everyone staring at me. For me, seeing my FH beforehand help my calm nerves.

Greenlight - I honestly don’t want to be whisked away after the ceremony for photos. Plus we both have only one person in our parties and we want to be able to all hangout in the morning

Greenlight - I honestly don’t want to be
