Am I the only one not doing first look?

We're not doing one! I never really wanted to, but I entertained the idea briefly. FH put his foot down and was adamant that he didn't want to see me until the doors open at the church. We are doing as many pics as possible beforehand, but guests will be able to go straight to the reception and start eating (we're doing finger foods since it's a mid afternoon wedding), so I don't think we will have a problem at all.

I don't think you will miss out on anything by not doing a first look. We are doing one, but it's more because of timing! We're having a 5pm ceremony and the sun sets at 6:30. We knew we wouldn't be comfortable cutting it that close for all of our pictures.

Do what is best for YOU! And talk to your photographer about what they recommend based on your day of timeline.

Not doing one either! FH and I have no problem looking like blubbering ridiculousness walking down the isle to each other! Just works best for us and our day!

For me this is the small time where the "your day your choice" rule applies!

I didn't do one and we got tons of great pictures in a fast 30 min after the ceremony! We got married in an art gallery and sent the guests through the Chihuly glass exhibit for a short and sweet time while we took pics. It was perfect. They have all said they loved having something to do in that mini "gap". Then they came back downstairs where the bar was up and running, the space was flipped for dinner and dinner was immediately served. Our ceremony was at 7:30pm

We are not doing a first look either. I want to wow FH when I'm walking down the aisle to him

I'm not doing one, totally a personal choice. It was not something I ever even considered. It's really the only part of the whole day I've ever imagined my whole life.

We didn't do one, our schedule worked out fine. We got a lot of other pictures out of the way before the ceremony and only spent the cocktail hour taking pictures.

We aren't doing one either!!! I think the "tradition" of waiting til you walk down the aisle is one of the most precious moments that happens at a wedding! I've learned through this whole process that it's not bout what your friends or family think you should do. It's YOUR wedding. You do what you want!

We are not doing one. I never wanted to do it, and FH is also very adamant about not seeing me the day of until I'm walking down the aisle. Our ceremony and reception are at different places (about a 15 minute drive) so we will be taking pictures right after the ceremony into cocktail hour, which gives us more than enough time.

We didn't do one! I was in between for awhile but he didn't want to do one so we didn't

I'm doing one, but I 100% agree with ANYONE'S decision not to. It's neither something traditional nor required. We are doing it from a practicality/timing standpoint (we don't get very long access to our ceremony site, we set the ceremony time so that it will be as close to sunset as possible, so it might be dark by the time we finished pictures if we waited, and we really want to go enjoy our cocktail hour with our guests), but FH wasn't sold on it for awhile. I think they're great if you want to do them, but if you don't, don't! You only get one walk down the aisle! =)

We are not doing a first look. After talking about it, we wanted to keep some tradition.

We were originally not planning on doing one; we liked the idea of waiting until I walk down the aisle to see each other. But, due to timing of the ceremony and our reception, we realised it was going to be easier for us to do a majority of our photos before the ceremony. So we have decided to do them out at my parents property beforehand. Had it not been for the schedule we would have waited, so I don't think there is anything wrong with not doing a "first look"

I want one...FW does not !!! We are getting married about 30 mins before sunset. She says we can do any poses before the wedding as long as we are not looking at each other...lol I'm not sure how that's going to work. I'm hoping to convince her in the next few months. We wanted to walk in coming from opposite ends so we could both see each other walking down the isle but I'm not sure it's going to work right on the beach. If we walk down separate I will walk first and she won't see me walk down.....the only down side to 2 brides in dresses.

We're not because both of us love seeing the look on the Groom's face when he first see the bride .

We aren't doing one! We were going to but we would rather wait to see each other for the first time when the church doors open and my dad walks me down the aisle.

I'm not doing first look either. Only with my dad.

We've recently decided to do a first look. Mainly because I have these huge curved stairs (35 total) to go down before I walk down the aisle. I want to take a little of the nervous edge off by seeing each other before. We also get more time for pic and video based on hour 5pm ceremony.

We aren't doing one. We are doing all of our individual group shots first and then will bring everyone together after. Plus no one leaves after the ceremony, especially when there is a cocktail hour. That's what that is for... to entertain your guests while you finish up pictures.

We're are having a first look because it's what will work best for us. Don't worry about what others think and do what is best for you. Think about it this way, you'll have your FH crying at the alter!! Doesn't that sound wonderful?
