First Look Pics

najera36

This may be a silly question, but are first look pics just for the bride/groom/bridesmaids/groomsmen?  Or are all members of the wedding party (parents/flower girls, etc.) supposed to be there too?  I only ask because our first look pics are off site so we need to arrange for transportation from the hotel, to the picture location, to the ceremony site.
Thanks!

The first look or reveal is a private moment between the bride and groom with only the photographer present to capture the moment.  It is not for the wedding party.  This is where you "reveal" yourself to your groom in your wedding dress for the first time (instead of him seeing you for the first time when you walk down the aisle).  This is done so that you can THEN take your wedding party photos before the ceremony.  But the wedding party is not present for the first look.

I have my first look photos in my married bio under "Reveal."

Yep, all of that. We had our parents and the BP come with us to the location & then wait while we did the first look photos & video. Then after, we all met up to take the rest of the pictures.
