Short answer - YES! And here’s how:
The trick is thinking well ahead. Tell your planner about this preference during your in-depth coordination meeting. They’ll then schedule the photos around cocktail hour to ensure you are freed up. If this is your priority, we’re pro-first-look. That way we ensure the bulk of your photos are done before the ceremony so you can eat, drink and chill with your favorite people!

We LOVE the first look moments here at EJW! Whenever we talk to our couples, we always propose the first look & here’s why:
✨ Offers a more intimate setting for you both to feel more at ease, without everyone’s eyes being on you
✨ You actually get to verbally hear his reaction to how stunning you look
✨ He actually gets to look at you, touch you, kiss you
✨ Before the guests arrive, allows you to have a private moment in which you can share private vows, if you choose
✨ On the planning side, doing the first look gives you more time before the ceremony to take photos you’d like captured
With all that being said though, we always want what’s best for our couples, and we still have lots of couples choose to wait until they walk down the aisle. It all comes down to what’s best for them and their day!
