Wedding Recap and Withdrawal

Anyone do "first look" photos?

Hello newlyweds!  My fiance and I met with our first photographer yesterday and she brought up a good point about our pictures.  Our ceremony is at 7pm at the end of September next year.  We picked Sept because we love the fall colors, but with our ceremony so late it will be dark by the time we take pictures.  She had suggested we do "first look" pictures before the ceremony.  At first I was really opposed to this cause I like the tradition of not seeing each other til the wedding, but it seems like it would be the only time that the two of us have together the whole day.  And we would also get to take pictures anywhere in the area during the day to see all the foliage (getting married in NH).  Did anyone do these types of pics and what are your thoughts on it (good or bad)? Thanks!

  • We did a first look mainly because of daylight as well. It turned out great because we met at the house did the first look and then went and got the rest of the pictures with the bridal party out of the way as well. My only problem was we did the pictures with the bridal party at the ceremony spot and when people started to show up the bridal party decided to leave us and go talk to their dates and family and friends and left us so we never got all the pictures we wanted because they all scattered.
