First Look- What to Consider Before Committing

First looks have become more popular over the years, but we want to make it crystal clear that it's not something you HAVE to do. There's some brides who really want to do it but don't know how it'll work into their wedding timeline, and then there's some brides who strictly want a traditional walk down the aisle. Either option is 100% up to you and please don't let anyone try and sway you in a certain direction.


This is why I made this list of pros and cons! I am hoping it'll be helpful to you to see if it'll work for your timeline or if you'd just rather opt in for a first touch instead. Your photographer should be asking you during your consultation if a first look is something you want to do and they can help you build your timeline around this- all you have to do is ask!
