First look - no pictures?

Kayla, on June 11, 2019 at 1:08 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 5

I'm wondering if anyone has done a first look, but did not have any photographs taken? Did you like it, or do you regret not having pictures?

My fiance and I want to do a first look, and we have plenty of time after the ceremony for all our pictures. We are considering doing a first look completely privately, including no photographer. My fiance and I can be pretty private people, and I'm worried we won't express our true emotions if we know someone else is watching. However, I'm wondering if looking back I would've liked to have pictures from that special moment.

Our wedding is in less than 3 weeks. Thoughts??

    I opted to have a first look and for it to be captured. I feel like I'd want to capture that moment

    A decent photographer should be able to give you plenty of space to feel like it is a private moment, but still be able to capture some photos for you to have to cherish! They don’t need to be right up in your face, I would just make sure your wishes are clear to your photographer ahead of time!

    We did a first look and I didn’t even notice the photographer because she stood so far away!

    You definitely want those first look photos, I treasure mine and can’t imagine not capturing that moment. Photographers are good at being out of the way. You could also mention your concerns to your photographer just so they are aware and can make sure they aren’t invading your space. Also being comfortable and having a good relationship with your photographer will help!
