Doing a FIRST LOOK is better than the traditional way waiting until the ceremony. Its your wedding, do whatever pleases you, BUT here is a photographers perspective... and this is so so so so true. Art isn’t crafted in 15 minutes. The last wedding I did in which the bride and groom waited to see each other until the ceremony, the portrait session was the most chaotic, mad-dash I’ve ever been involved in. They literally got 2 portraits. The sun was setting and was going to get very cold, and we hadn’t shot any bridal party or family photos either. And when this is the case, the bride/groom portraits always take one for the team. Family and bridal party photos always take longer because of the amount of people to herd. Michelangelo didn’t craft the Statue of David under a time crunch. He spend years on it. Perfecting it. The Cisteen Chapel didn’t happen over night. Your favorite musical record? I bet that took more than a few minutes to perfect. I am an artist. All of us photographers are artists. We don’t thrive under deadlines. And frantic, stressed out subjects don’t photo well. It breaks my heart to deliver a package of wedding photos knowing that there are hardly any bride/groom portraits. That is what the WHOLE DAY is about. You 2. No one else. So please don’t hold to a silly tradition and expect us to deliver something that isn’t possible. We aren’t magicians. We can’t capture an hour of portraits in 10 minutes. It simply doesn’t work that way. You need to set us up for success, so that your photos can be all they can be.
