I think you covered some great topics here! What a great resource for others! For us we decided to do the revealing before. That allowed us to take family pictures and wedding party pictures before hand. So afterwards we only spend about 20 minutes on pictures before heading to the reception. We enjoyed doing it that way so we got to see everyone and they did not have to wait long.
Hi Cassie!
YES, I love that you guys chose to do a First Look too! So did Matt and I.
As both a bride and a wedding photographer, I just think it’s one of the best decisions a couple can do! I will never force anyone to do it, but I do LOVE when they want to do it! 🙂
Thanks for reading through all of the info!
xo! Laura
