I wanted to talk to you about wedding traditions. There are some out there that I agree need to stay put, and others I think we can live with out. I'm going to start by talking about the bride and groom seeing each other before she walks down the isle.
People say it's bad luck, but do you agree? They also say they miss the special moment when he first sees her. That is a pretty awesome moment, but its okay if you want that to just be between the two of you.
First look photo shoots are becoming more and more popular. It's an amazing moment that is captured with only the two of you and the photographer before the ceremony. It's always very popular for couples who don't have a lot of time between their ceremony and reception, or if they'd rather not have a three hour gap between the ceremony and reception to do pictures.

When couples opt to have their wedding and reception in the same location, it's much easier to do most of the pictures before hand, so you can actually enjoy your cocktail hour with your guests. You will also have more time before the ceremony in this case, because it will be starting later in the day rather than at 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon like with Catholic or other church weddings.
I personally love first look photo shoots. They're special and romantic, and the pictures are always amazing. It's also the only time you and your future spouse will have any time alone. As a wedding planner, it also makes my job easier! i don't have to worry about the bride and groom crossing paths all day.
I'm not saying that I dislike the traditional way, though. As a guest, seeing the groom's face when his bride is walking down the isle is one of my favorite parts of the wedding.
What do you think of the first look photo shoot and couples seeing each other before the ceremony?
XO, Val
