Has anyone done a first look in a way other than the whole "sneak up and tap him on the shoulder' thing? Initially, I didn't want to do a first look. I HATE the way it looks and feels when a bride awkwardly sneaks up behind the groom and taps him on the shoulder and he turns around, and gives and awkward "ohhh wow, you look great" then they awkwardly hug.
It just feels uncomfortable and not as emotional.
BUT! I want the extra time for pictures.
So I need advice from anyone who has done first looks differently, to maybe make them feel more like the walking down the isle moment. The music, the emotion, the tears, I want that. I just also want the most out of our expensive photographer if you get that?
Positive encouraging help only please!
Thank you you wonderful and beautiful people!!!!
