The day

First look or not: what it does to your cocktail hour

Either answer is right. Here is the hour each one costs, and where it comes from.

A first look moves your portraits before the ceremony. Without one, portraits happen after, during cocktail hour, and you join your guests at the grand entrance.

With a first look

You are dressed about two and three-quarter hours before the ceremony. Hair and makeup starts earlier. You get the whole cocktail hour with your guests.

Without one

You are dressed an hour and a half before. The first time you see each other is at the end of the aisle. You spend most of cocktail hour on portraits, and we send a plate of whatever is passing.

See both

Switch the first look on and off on the timeline. Watch the hair-and-makeup start time and the portrait rows move.
