Does the photographer want all the formal pictures taken before the ceremony?
A. Our style allows us to quickly capture the important group pictures after the ceremony if the Bride and Groom are absolutely sure that they don’t want to see each other before the ceremony. If you don’t want the groom to see you before the ceremony, your photographer should be adaptable enough to accommodate your wishes. There are some situations, however, in which it is impossible to provide any time between the ceremony and reception for the group photos to be taken. In this case, the photographer, wedding coordinator and you should allow for a special moment when you two can see each other for the “first time” before the ceremony. You will discover that this moment is the perfect compromise, and will allow the two of you to see each other and really enjoy just you two. After the ceremony you won’t have to worry about the time spent taking pictures but can dash out of the church and into your car and off to the reception. Q.
