To do the first look or not?

To do the first look or not?
So often we hear of brides and grooms struggling with this decision….


“Should we see each other before the ceremony and go ahead and get some photos out of the way?”
OR
“Should we keep it traditional style and wait to see each other as I’m walking down the aisle?”

You aren’t going to go wrong with either, we promise.

We want to give you a couple of inside tips from our team of wedding planners and coordinators of things you may not have fully considered to help you and your fiance with this decision!

If you and your fiance do decide to do a first look:

1.    You will save a significant amount of time in between your cocktail hour and reception to enjoy with your guest and not feel rushed or pressed for time.
2.    Depending on the time of your ceremony and how long your ceremony is, the first look might help you get more daylight in your photos.
3.    Your hair and make up will be fresh!

If you and your fiance don’t decide to do a first look:



1.    You, plus your entire guest list will all get to be a part of such a significant moment together.
2. Your photos will have the facial expressions of all of your closest friends and family.
3. Most people think its bad luck to see each other before hand!



At, The Wheeler House we love both! Each time a couple is united in holy matrimony it is something so significantly special for us to witness. Whether you see each other before the actual ceremony or wait till the bride is coming down the aisle, the moment will be perfect.

With love,
The Wheeler House
