How do I coordinate wedding cars with my "first look" photos?

I want to do a first look, but I can't figure out how to handle the logistics. The first look, ceremony and reception are all close together (Sydney inner west). The ceremony (time bride walks in) is at 4:30. I thought we'd do the first look at 3:00, then do shots with the wedding party before travelling as one group to the ceremony. When do I book the car for? Can bride and groom ride with the two photographers to the first look and have the wedding party meet us after portraits are done in the cars? I don't want to make everyone come along to the first look just to wait around in a car, and I also don't want to book extra cars just for the first look. How would you transport everyone?

Hi, what is the first thing you need to spend money on?

Hi, we are currently living in broome. Our wedding will be in Perth. I know we will need the help planning. So, a wedding planner is needed. But do i spend the money on them first? or should i hold off until we save up more money? My planner is charging 4,200....im afraid if i pay them first because photographers are also expensive. So im not sure what to lock in. Our budget is 30,000 including everything. We are paying for the wedding ourselves. Of that 30,000 the planner fee comes off instantly? how do i know it won't be a waste of money....because i also feel that chews a portion of my dress and other things .Thank you so much for your advice!
