First Look?

Just curious what everyone thinks about a "First Look". Are you all seeing your FH for a first look or waiting for him to see you coming down the aisle? I've always been one to want to wait for him to see me coming down the aisle for that reaction but it seems a lot of couples do a "First Look" now....

    We didn’t have time for a first look, and figured we wouldn’t. So we did a quick first touch moment at the hotel where we got ready instead and I couldn’t recommend it enough!! It was both exciting and reassuring to be able to hold his hand and talk to him for a few minutes, and it made me so giddy knowing that was the last conversation I would have with him as my fiancé!! I loved it, and we did it on my photographers insistence, and I’m SO THANKFUL she made sure we did it, despite us running a little late!! Totally worth it. 100%.

    We are doing one. We have a small group of people, but I know I’ll be nervous and if I see him before walking down the isle I know I’ll be much more calm!! Also we are having a wedding on the beach and so he would definitely see me before where the ceremony is going to be held. So we are having first looks in a forest right in front of the beach. Also since I will be apart from him he night before and the whole day I will want a moment of just holding him and looking at how handsome he will be all dressed up and to just talk to him.

    I believe waiting until I come down the aisle will give a picture perfect video/picture memory. I know feeling of the first look will be mutual!

    We are doing a first look. FH has already seen me in my dress and we want to get the pics done so we can enjoy our wedding with our family.

    We did one just because we logistically needed to take photos beforehand
