The first look debate through the eyes of a wedding photographer.
Apr 20, 2023Normally when I write articles about photography, I’m not very polemic — I try to stay neutral and give advice that photographers can apply to their own personal wedding photography style even if it differs from my own. I care more about giving people solid advice than worrying about clickbait.
Luckily for me, there’s no convincing involved because this wedding photographer’s perspective is to let my couples do whatever they want. Therefore, in this article, I can give you the advice I give my couples, the pros and cons of both ways of doing things from over a decade’s worth of weddings. You can use the information to decide how you want to handle the topic as a wedding photographer.
If you do the math of how much time a couple gets with each of their 200 wedding guests during a 4-hour wedding reception it becomes quickly clear why they might not want to miss cocktail hour. As the photographers, we’re expected to capture a wide variety of pictures and it can be a very stressful day. If your couple wants to do a first look, you can create a timeline with breathing room and the ability to accomplish a lot more.
In some ways, the expectation that a bride and groom are going to get to spend quality time connecting with everyone on their wedding day is completely unrealistic anyway. Wedding guests come from all over and sure, it’d be nice to spend time together. But everyone is really there to witness the wedding — the wedding is the purpose of the event. Therefore, whatever traditions make the wedding special and meaningful to a particular couple are the traditions I advise them to do.
