I've been going back and forth about doing a first look. I think it will make things run much smoother and allow more time with our guests, however I really want that element of surprise and emotion from my fiancé as I walk down the isle. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all at the same place so I am worried about being rushed for photos and missing the entire cocktail hour. Appreciative of any input!

    Almost all of my couples do this. I don't even understand the whole 'first look at the end of the aisle' thing, when you photographer will have like 20 seconds before the ceremony starts. I love the notion of a private moment between the two of you, and as many of my couples have told me, it could be one of the only times you have alone together....

    I'm one of those types whose day dreamed about my wedding since I was 5 so it would break my heart to ruin the moment I've dreamed about my whole life Smiley smile
