For Those Who Took Photos Before the Ceremony...

Just wondering, who did you include in these photos? Was it just you and hubby and the bridal party? Or did you include your family members too? I'm planning on taking pictures at 9:00 a.m. and am wondering if I should ask everyone to be there or just the bridal party. Also, How long did you take for pictures?? Any suggestions would be great!!! Thanks...

Hi Liz...we had all of our bridal party and family members there at 1:00 for a 3:30 ceremony and we got all the pics done. Granted, I don't have a ton of proofs and some of the important pics were missing because of my dumb photog, but I would say at least 2 hours or so, especially if you have a huge family and a photog who takes a ton of proofs. We wanted to be at our cocktail hour so we did all formals before.

I got to the hall at 10:15...took pictures getting ready (just dress) and then just me (hubby had his before I got there)

we got all family and BP pictures done by 11:45...ceremony was 12:30...but guests started arriving at 11:15ish...I didn't mind at all...I greeted them and hugged...but I am not a traditionalist at all...

Scott and I wanted it to be a private moment (well us and 3 photographers and video guy). My sister and best friend asked if they could come along to see Scott's reaction but I said NO. I am soo glad it was just us, and the vendors. It was a very honest moment. This is a second before he turned around to see me. We were on the golf course (he played there in the morning too) so Bill (wild rose) thought it would be cute if he was hitting some balls as I walked up.

This is a few seconds after we saw each other

We had the whole crew with us when we first saw each other. One of my favorite photos is us sharing a private moement with my dad and groomsmen chatting in the back:

And this one one too if cropped properly:

It would have been ideal to be completely alone but that wasnt possible in our case.

After we did some group photos, we moved on to Times Square alone and let the bridal party to to the church without us.
