Taking pictures before your ceremony?

Anyone taking pictures before your ceremony? My FI & live together so this wasn't an issue but I was worried my makeup, hair & dress might not look as fresh when I get to the ceremony - especially it it's a hot day.

I'd hate to show up/photograph a sweaty, frizzy & runny mess!

I am I'm getting married the same day you are, but this year. Hopefully it won't be super humid that day. I figured I don't want to rush and miss my cocktail hour since my reception immiately follows my ceremony.

Re: Taking pictures before your ceremony?

me too. In fact, I have only been to 1 wedding where this didn't happen. Better to look fresh for the photographs than anything else.

Same here, we don't want to miss the cocktail hour... Your make up should be fresh, but you can always touch it up with a little powder and lipstick

Re: Taking pictures before your ceremony?

I'm taking pics at a park before the ceremony- the chapel at my Rh is a little tacky, so i wanted pics elsewhere. Could you ask you make up person if you can buy her products to do touch ups later?

Re: Taking pictures before your ceremony?

We are also taking pictures before the ceremony. We were a bit unsure but now I think we will do that- we are getting married at Villa Lombardi's so our cocktail hour is right after the ceremony and we want to be there-

Re: Taking pictures before your ceremony?

We're taking all of our non-together pics beforehand, and our together pics afterwards, during the CH. I think this'll work okay - at least I hope!
