We've been a'bloggin' about the dilemma a lot of couples face when trying to figure out how they're going to get all those fabulous portraits of the two of them while not making their guests wait at the reception or having to see each other before the ceremony. We've already discussed the ways you can {get creative} with your event and time to fit it in on the day of, a {day after session} to get fabulous portraits later, and now... This happens to be my (Jemma) personal favorite option for fitting in the wedding photography while respecting your guests' time and still preserving a special moment - including lots of special photos. Let's talk about the {first look} and how it plays out on the wedding day. 3. You can get lots of photos and make it to the reception on time but you'll have to see each other before the ceremony. possible solutions: a {first look} session - make it your own, plan it out ahead of time or be spontaneous. pick a lovely location and have the groom waiting with his back turned and the bride come in, announce herself or tap him on the shoulder while the photographers shoot with a long lens to capture this beautiful, private moment between the two of you. Alternately, you can set it up with family and friends looking on if you still want the moment to be shared with your loved ones. After the first look, you can get on with the romantic shots with the two of you, take bridal party shots, and maybe some family photos, provided you have informed them that you'd like them ready early. cons: breaking a tradition. here is Marion & Russ' {first look} What do you think about these ideas? Do you see any more drawbacks? What are you going to do if you're getting married? What did you do and how did it work out?
