Pro's and Con's of Having a First Look



The "first look" is a modern trend in weddings where the bride and groom see each other privately before the ceremony. While it's a personal choice, there are some pros and cons to consider. Please remember that this is YOUR day and you get to do what you want to!


Pros:

1. Intimate moment: The first look offers a private moment for the couple to share their

emotions and connect before the ceremony.


2. Better photos: The photographer can capture the couple's reactions in a more controlled

environment, creating stunning photos.


3. Relieve nerves: Seeing each other beforehand can help ease pre-ceremony jitters and

anxiety.


4. More time for other activities: Taking pictures before the ceremony frees up more time to

enjoy the reception.


Cons:

1. Traditional values: Some couples prefer to stick to tradition and wait until the ceremony to

see each other.


2. Loss of excitement: Seeing each other beforehand can lessen the excitement and

anticipation of walking down the aisle.


3. Time constraints: If the couple decides to take pictures beforehand, it may limit their time for other activities before the ceremony.


4. Makeup and hair: The bride may have to touch up her hair and makeup after the first look,

which could add stress. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to have a first look is up to the couple and their personal preferences. It's important to weigh the pros and cons and choose what feels right for the both of them.
