First Look

FH and I are on the fence about whether or not we should do a first look. Are you and your FS doing a first look? Did you do one? Do you regret doing it? If not, do you wish you had done one? Why did you decide on doing so or not doing so?

    As silly as this one sounds, we a) want to be able to take pictures & b) want that intimate moment. But, we also are conscious of the fact that it will most likely be in the 90s on our wedding day and it is outside. If we can take our pics sooner, there is less of a chance of me sweating off all of my makeup during the ceremony haha.

    They said the First Look is better on time as far as pictures but I cannot fix myself to even do it. I've always dreamt of seeing my husband for the first time at the alter just moments before we say I DO. First looks just spoils it for me. I think we're just going to limit our picture taking. I'm not willing to spend and hour taking formal pictures. I never cared for them. The pictures i'm looking forward to having are the candids. lol

    We want to enjoy cocktail hour too. We are doing a first look because FH has already seen me in my dress so it doesn’t matter and we get most of the pics done beforehand.

    My FH and I are not doing a first look. We came to this decision together which was super cute! But I want the first time for us to see each other that day is walking down the aisle. I am superstitious and just want to do the traditional kind of thing.

    I totally get the want for more pictures and stuff, so I'd say just follow your heart. It's your day! Do whatever you think is best for the two of you!
