Brides taking pics before the ceremony

What time are your parents arriving for pictures? Will they arrive at the same time as you? What about grandparents? When are you asking them to arrive?

Thanks!

Re: Brides taking pics before the ceremony

When I had this conversation with my photographer, he said it was best to have just the bride and groom alone. For one, it makes beautiful pictures full of emotion and two it's the only time you really get to spend with each other. I'm going to give at least 15-30 mins to just to ourselves and then invite the bridal party in and the family. Our ceremony starts at 5 so we're taking pictures at around 3:00

Re: Brides taking pics before the ceremony

My ceremony is at 5:00 so I'm having the immediate family at the hall at 4:00 to take pictures. EH has family coming from Portugal so I want to get certain family pictures taken ahead of time plus I dont want to miss the cocktail hour...

Re: Brides taking pics before the ceremony

We're doing family pics before the ceremony. We have both photography studios. So Fh can take pictures with wedding party in one room while I take pics in the other room. this way we have at least half of our cocktail hour and FH won't see me before the ceremony

Re: Brides taking pics before the ceremony

Our ceremony was at 6, and we took couple pics from 1-3, and then family and wedding party pics from 3-5 (including travel time).

They arrived about 30 minutes before the ceemony and we did our family pics last
