This can be before getting wedding-ready, after getting ready and seeing each other before the ceremony, or the moment the couple lays eyes on one another as they walk down the aisle.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, a first look though, is where a couple have a private moment, to see one another fully dressed in their outfits, prior to their wedding ceremony.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pro\">First Look Pros &amp; Cons<\/h2>\n<p>Shall we look at the potential benefits and drawbacks of having a first look? Of course, these will vary depending on your personal preferences, but hopefully, will give some food for thought.<\/p>\n<div class=\"grid grid--half\">\n<div class=\"grid__col\">\n<div class=\"infoBox infoBox--tick theme--green\"><p class=\"h2\"><\/p>\n<h3>Pros<\/h3>\n<p><\/p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It's a private and personal moment<\/li>\n<li>Emotional, candid photos<\/li>\n<li>Can ease nerves\/cold feet pre-ceremony<\/li>\n<li>Extra portrait time (while you look pristine too)<\/li>\n<li>Special memory to treasure<\/li>\n<li>Earlier light for bright photos<\/li>\n<li>A modern and fun new tradition to start<\/li>\n<li>Another opportunity to skip poor weather conditions<\/li>\n<li>Utilise a second photo location<\/li>\n<li>Better view for photographs compared to ceremony<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><br\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid__col\">\n<div class=\"infoBox infoBox--tick theme--blue\"><p class=\"h2\"><\/p>\n<h3>Cons<\/h3>\n<p><\/p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Guests will miss the special moment<\/li>\n<li>It's untraditional and may not suit your vibe<\/li>\n<li>Superstitious?

In all seriousness, only the couple actually need to be at a first look. If the couple chooses they could have their photographer and videographer attend to capture the moment. Alternatively, ask your children or close family\/wedding party to watch. There is no hard and fast rule about who should or shouldn&#8217;t be in attendance. Do you.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Everyone Do A First Look At A Wedding?<\/h3>\n<p>Not everyone does a wedding first look. There are generally three options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spending the night before together\/getting ready together as a couple<\/li>\n<li>Having a first look pre-ceremony<\/li>\n<li>The first look is at the start of the ceremony, down the aisle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most couples do their first look during their ceremony and many couples are now choosing a first look, before their ceremony.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-347575\" src=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/Wedding-First-Look-Idea-Photo-WhitneyBre-Photography.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding First Look Idea Photo WhitneyBre Photography\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/Wedding-First-Look-Idea-Photo-WhitneyBre-Photography.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/Wedding-First-Look-Idea-Photo-WhitneyBre-Photography-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/Wedding-First-Look-Idea-Photo-WhitneyBre-Photography-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/Wedding-First-Look-Idea-Photo-WhitneyBre-Photography-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/Wedding-First-Look-Idea-Photo-WhitneyBre-Photography-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/Wedding-First-Look-Idea-Photo-WhitneyBre-Photography-604x403.jpg 604w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/Wedding-First-Look-Idea-Photo-WhitneyBre-Photography-60x40.jpg 60w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/Wedding-First-Look-Idea-Photo-WhitneyBre-Photography-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/Wedding-First-Look-Idea-Photo-WhitneyBre-Photography-467x312.jpg 467w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/> Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/whitneybre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WhitneyBre Photography<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/wedissimo.com\/blog\/romantic-fall-wedding\/\">Romantic Fall Wedding<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>How To Plan A Wedding First Look?<\/h3>\n<p>To plan your first look, firstly, work out the timings. If you are wishing for your first look to be captured, consult with your photographer\/videographer about how much time they&#8217;d like to take some portraits. Aim for around half an hour, time flies on your wedding day!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to consider getting to\/from the first look location, as well as if you need any touch-ups following. Once you have your timings you can add your first look to your <a title=\"Wedding Day Timeline Template Examples &amp; Free Download Tool\" href=\"https:\/\/wedissimo.com\/blog\/wedding-timeline-templates-examples\/\">wedding day timeline<\/a> and let your suppliers know about it.<\/p>\n<h3>Can You Kiss During A First Look?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can kiss each other during the first look. But you may also wish to wait for your first kiss of the day to be after your ceremony. The choice is yours! If you are set on not kissing, be sure to communicate this to your partner. But if you do kiss, don&#8217;t worry, there are no rules about this one. Follow your heart.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-347559 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/First-Look-Vineyard-Wedding-Idea-Kate-Hensley-Phillips-Photography-720x1079.jpg\" alt=\"First Look Vineyard Wedding Idea Kate Hensley Phillips Photography\" width=\"720\" height=\"1079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/First-Look-Vineyard-Wedding-Idea-Kate-Hensley-Phillips-Photography-720x1079.jpg 720w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/First-Look-Vineyard-Wedding-Idea-Kate-Hensley-Phillips-Photography-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/First-Look-Vineyard-Wedding-Idea-Kate-Hensley-Phillips-Photography-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/First-Look-Vineyard-Wedding-Idea-Kate-Hensley-Phillips-Photography-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/First-Look-Vineyard-Wedding-Idea-Kate-Hensley-Phillips-Photography-604x905.jpg 604w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/First-Look-Vineyard-Wedding-Idea-Kate-Hensley-Phillips-Photography-60x90.jpg 60w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2023\/08\/First-Look-Vineyard-Wedding-Idea-Kate-Hensley-Phillips-Photography.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/> Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/katehensleyphillips.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Kate Hensley Phillips Photography<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/wedissimo.com\/blog\/cenita-vineyards-wedding\/\">Cenita Vineyards Wedding<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Is The First Look Private?<\/h3>\n<p>The majority of couples choose to have a private first look, alone with their photographer\/videographer. But you can invite others to join you if you prefer.<\/p>\n<h3>What Happens During A First Look?<\/h3>\n<p>Typically, during a first look, one-half of the couple chooses a location to wait in. Before the other half of the couple approaches the other, then the waiting partner turns around for the precious moment.
