First Look... With Your Parents?

Are you doing a first look with your parents?? This "first look" is less of a reveal and more just capturing that first moment your parents see you all done up! Smiley heart

    My dad will see me for the first time when he comes to get me to walk down the aisle. Pictures will be taken.

    My mom and I were going to do one but we couldn't wait to see each other. She came in to my hotel room and we had a moment. We won't get those pictures but it felt so nice to just have some time when I needed my mom (was melting down because my sister stepped on and ripped a small section of my veil).

    Well, they're helping me get ready so yes, they'll see me before we get to the church.

    I plan on doing a "first look" with my dad before doing the first look with my FH. My mom will be in the room getting ready with everyone. My mom and I are playfully betting on whether or not my dad will cry

    FH and I are doing a first look and I also want a first look with my mom/grandma and then his parents.
    FH and I will have the first look be of each other

    the rest will be a first look of us as a couple. Like not just one of us but both of us

    I am not doing a first look with FH as he was very adamant about keeping that tradition. But I will be doing a first look with my dad. Can't wait to see his reaction ❤️

    I'm going to need a moment with my mom and dad, and maybe that will be a good moment to photograph. My friend took a picture of my mother and I when I got my dress and I'm very happy that I have that. I'm very close to both of my parents, so I'm sure the three of us will be emotional. Smiley heart

    I'm doing a first look with my dad. I showed him a picture of my dress already but it was just the generic picture and not actually me in the dress.

    I'm planning to do a first look with my dad. I'm thinking it will be at the venue, but before he walks me down the aisle (maybe like 10 minutes) because he's pretty conservative and my dress is backless. I do plan to ask my photographer to capture the moment. Hopefully he reacts in a good way... *fingers crossed*

    Nope, after my H and I were dressed and took photos we walked out of the suite room where our moms, and siblings were waiting for us in the living area of the suite. So I guess everyone got to see us all at the same time.

    This seems kind of weird to me.

    I will be getting ready with my mom (dad has never been in the picture) so no I won't be doing one, but I do love to look at the photos and think the moment the father see's his daughter ready to be married is truly precious.

    I'm not the only one! I agree, I think it's a little strange. I didn't even have my mom help me get dressed-just H and I.

    Honestly, calling it a "first look" with anyone other than your FS weirds me out a bit lol.


    My mom helped me get dressed, and then I guess there was a reveal with my bridesmaids, dad, and stepdad, but the photos are totally candid, it's not something that was discussed with the photographers or staged in advance.
