Modern or Traditional: First Look?

I don't want to do a first look. I am not superstitious but I'd rather just be surprised (and he be surprised) seeing me for the first time in our wedding attire.

Definitely traditional.

I am doing the first look before the ceremony. With the wedding being in NOV the sun will set earlier, so I wanted to have some time to potentially add some more couple pictures in the great lighting.

Traditional, we want me walking down the aisle to be the first time we see each other

I’m aiming for traditional, but not too sure how well it will work out.

I’m hoping to do modern, first look, for a few reasons!! Our ceremony and reception are at the same location, and don’t want to take tons of time between the two for formal photos, so to save time on photography, a first look makes sense! I also don’t really have anywhere to “hide” prior to the ceremony, due to the set up of the venue. I also just want some special private moments for just us before the bustle of the day!

Modern we are doing the first look ( also gives us more time with guests at our cocktail hour!)

Traditional all the way. We do want to have it where we hold hands on opposite sides of a wall or door beforehand though 😊

Traditional I look forward to see his face when I start to walk down the isle and seeing him in his suite for the first, it also just adds to the emotion of it all.

Traditional I want him to be just surprised as the guests.

I have a slight obsession with watching videos of the bride walking in and seeing the expression of her spouse!! It's so sweet!

I definitely agree!!!!

View Quoted Comment I do too lol thats why I'm choosing the traditional approach. I feel like my f.h is going to be shocked, probably more than the guests. Hes never seen me truly all dolled up.

Modern. We're definitely doing a first look!

Traditional because I love the look on his face every time I step in a room. I want to share that moment with everyone I love.

Traditional, I want the time he sees me to be when I walking to him

Traditional, my fiancé believes it’s bad luck to see each other before vows and he wants to keep it that way , along with not seeing me that day until our vows as well !

We are doing this part the traditional way! I don't want my FH to see me until I'm walking down the aisle with my dad!

Modern. 1st we would both be too nervous without seeing each other before to center ourselves and 2nd we want outdoor pictures but a candlelit after sunset ceremony and you need sun for good outdoor photos so we will do those first during the "golden hour" then go right to the ceremony as the sun sets.

Traditional. We are a somewhat old-fashioned couple and the modern way is just not a fit for us.
