So my fiance and I are having our ceremony & reception at Milleridge Cottage. Guests will arrive around 6, ceremony starts around 6:30, then we go right to cocktail hour. We are doing a first look, and we have 2 different places that we want to take pics before the actual ceremony. We have JayLim Photography for 10 hours the day of, and our 2 different locations for pre-ceremony pics are within 3-5 min drive of each other and Milleridge. I'm clueless as to what time we need to start taking pictures. I would think we need to be back at Milleridge around 5:45 before the ceremony. For anyone with first look experience, how long does it usually take? We were thinking of pics of just us 2 for our first look, then hopping in the limo to the 2nd location and taking pics with bridal party and family. Obviously we want this to run as smoothly as possible...I guess I'm looking for feedback/thoughts? I would think we have to start our first look pics around 4, but I'm not sure. Sorry for the novel!

Shoot an email or phone call to your photog and see what they say. Then you can decide whether you want more or less than what they recommend.

Thanks guys...spoke to my photog and the bridal coordinator. They both want us back to Milleridge by 5:00 (!!!!!!!!) for a 6:30 ceremony. I do want my hair stylist to come and do a touch up before the ceremony, so I want SOME time, but feel that being there by 5 is very excessive. JayLim photog thinks we should need an hour and a half for pics at locations we want, from 3:30-5, and then another session from 5-6. I totally disagree and do not want to take photos from 5-6 after taking them from 3:30-almost 5. They want to use the 5-6 time for family photos at Milleridge. Meanwhile, I'm thinking when the hell is my touch up happening, and can I BREATHE for a moment?! I hope this isn't a mistake, but in order to avoid feeling frazzled I'm going to ask for 5-5:30 instead, and then have the hair touch up and take a little time to take it all in.
