Something that comes up during every wedding consultation with our awesome couples is discussing the timeline and more specifically, having a first look. Many couples want to maximize the time where photos are being taken and we have seen how planning your wedding day affects this.<\/p>

For those who may not be in the wedding world or need further explanation, here\u2019s what a first look is: A first look is a designated time in a wedding before the ceremony where both partners see each other and share a genuine and intimate moment.<\/strong><\/p>

Surprisingly, the first look can be somewhat controversial between family members and even the couple. It\u2019s essentially based on the priorities of the wedding couple and their desired layout of the wedding day.<\/p>

There are generally two schools of thought when it comes to when the couple will see each other during a wedding day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Traditional Wedding Timeline<\/p>

The no first look is the historically traditional view where one partner is hidden from view of the other partner & any early wedding guests, with the exception of their wedding party and maybe mother and\/or father. The first time they see each other in this model when one partner is walking down an aisle or is presented in a celebratory manner.<\/p>

Depending on the culture, this can be the bride & her father walking down the aisle, a bride riding into the ceremony on an animal such as a horse or an elephant. (If any couples could ride in on a Dinosaur, we would totally shoot that wedding!)<\/p>

After the ceremony, photos are taken of the family, full wedding party (bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, ring bearers, etc.). These photos are commonly called \u201cFormals\u201d and what your mom & grandma mean when they say they want a photo of you and them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once the formal family and wedding party photos are complete, we usually take some time with the couple to create images of them in their freshly married state. It\u2019s a super sweet time and we think great to capture the heightened emotion during these few moments.<\/p>

Many times these photos are done while the majority of wedding guests who are not family or in the wedding party are at a designated location for \u201ccocktail hour\u201d. This isn\u2019t necessarily an actual hour but that depends on the couples photo desires. To keep the guests occupied, many couples have snacks, games, or other unique activities set up around the location.<\/p>

Obviously, depending on your family and wedding party size, these photos can take up to an hour, sometimes two. Photos with more people and not breaking into much smaller chunks is a great way to save time if you need it I.e. \u201cPhoto with all Aunts & Uncles\u201d and then they\u2019re dismissed rather than having a photo with the couple and one aunt & uncle at one time. You can also emphasize immediate family for formals, and maybe grab photos with extended family later on during the reception if you\u2019d like.<\/p>

Another thing to consider in any wedding timeline is the weather and location. During a winter wedding, the sun may go down very early. If any outdoor photos are desired, that could mean an earlier ceremony or taking photos inside (sometimes less desired or more difficult to fit larger groups in while making them look great).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Well, for your wedding the first thing to remember is that it\u2019s YOURS! You can plan however you\u2019d like and customize it to suit your needs.<\/p>

If we had to suggest when not to do a traditional wedding timeline, I\u2019d say if you plan to have a later ceremony and want photos outside that aren\u2019t specifically at night then do not wait until after the ceremony to do the family, wedding party, and couple photos. Also, if you have a large family and want formals of them we would probably suggest not using the traditional wedding timeline.<\/p>

Here are some photos of incredible and emotional first looks at weddings. The first look reaction is amazing:<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

With the couple seeing each other before the ceremony, there\u2019s a lot of other options when it comes to planning the day. You can do the family, wedding party, and most couple photos all before the ceremony.<\/p>

This can be useful in a wedding where the sun may go down early as mentioned previously, or if you\u2019d like to maximize the time you spend with your wedding guests. Rather than being disconnected from your guests for an extended amount of time, you can usually engage with them right away with your new spouse. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>

With a first look, it\u2019s generally more easy to keep the wedding party on track and maintain the timeline without feeling too rushed. Extra cushion time on the wedding day is major key.<\/p>

What time should you have the first look?<\/p>

A good rule of thumb for when to have the first look is two hours before the ceremony if the getting ready, ceremony and reception are all at one venue. The first look itself may only last a few minutes but this leaves plenty of cushion time for wedding party & family photos. Of course, this depends on venue rules (some venues don\u2019t let you come early) budget, schedules and ultimately, how much do you value photography.<\/p>

Also, if you\u2019re a person who loves super emotional moments or seeing grooms crying during weddings, the first look is a good idea. But you have to remember that you cannot force a reaction out of your partner. It\u2019s very intimate (just you two, We are usually in the distance after we\u2019ve helped set up the first look) but not every person reacts in the way we think they will. There\u2019s usually a ton of stress released during the first look. That said, you get to spend a few peaceful moments with your partner during the big day before you have to get back to the schedule.<\/p>

One interesting fact about a wedding including a first look is that all of the situations in the traditional wedding timeline such as the bride being escorted by her father, or riding in on an animal, or any other idea can still happen! Many times, if a bride is wearing a veil we\u2019ll suggest to only wear it for the ceremony. That way there\u2019s still something special when the ceremony happens.<\/p>

If you\u2019ve read this and still don\u2019t see how this works out, take a look at the First Look Timeline Example<\/a> or the Traditional Wedding Timeline Example<\/a>.<\/p>
