First look.... private or with bridal party?

MsMay, on May 23, 2018 at 7:52 PM Posted in Planning 0 26
Just wanted to know for those doing a first look. Are you doing it just the two of you? Or are you having your bridal party be present?

    We did just the two of us, and then the photographer went and grabbed my daughter for some shots (she was 3). We did wedding party and family photos after those were done.

    We did just the two of us and I loved it. It was a quiet and sweet moment in an otherwise hectic (in a fun way) day.

    I’m doing just the two of us! I want the moment to be about us, not my bridal party, as much as I love them all. I just want this one moment to be ours!

    We had our bridal party present but they were off to the side behind me so it didn't really affect anything. We didn't even really notice them lol.

    I'm opting for just my FH and I, I dont like people watching me and I also feel like it's going to be more meaningful for just the two of us to be present.

    The first look will be just the 2 of us and have the party wait in the limo. After we get the photos we will do the bridal party photos. I would feel awkward with an audience.

    I dont know im going to do first look photos or not. I love the idea by my FH doesnt emote very well. Hes expressions are pretty blank for the most part so id be worried about there being no reaction and being disappointed at the lack of reaction.

    HES SO STOIC!! 😭😭

    Abigail , it’s where for example the bride groom see each other prior to the walk down the isle. It’s a chance to get pictures done prior to cocktail hour in our case .

    I would say private and then have the wedding party meet you at that location later to take pictures. That’s what we’re doing.

    It’s when you see each other for the first time before the ceremony. We’re doing it so we get all the emotions of first see each other out of the way. It’s a private moment between the two of you that you can just soak in and have this time to yourself before all the craziness starts. Plus, it’s helps in getting all the pictures out of the way, so were not making our wedding guests wait more then an hour. We both want to be able to spend that time with our family and friends instead of taking a ton of pictures afterwards.

    We’re doing it just us. No photographer, no bridal party.

    We're going to have a private first look and then do some wedding party and family pictures afterwards but before the ceremony.

    We plan on our first look to just be the two of us, our photographer, and our videographer.

    Definitely just the two of us. We want our first time seeing each other to be a special, private moment. We'll do some photos with the wedding party afterwards.
