Just wondering if anyone has or if anyone is thinking of doing pre-wedding pictures. I'm don't want FH to see me before I walk down the aisle, but he knows people who did pictures prior to the ceremony so they had more time at the reception etc. Any thoughts?

Re: Did you or will you see him before?
I'm debating. Our ceremony is at 11:30 and CH starts at 1 leaving very little room for pics in between. However, its just sooo early to do the pics beforehand. So, I'm really not sure where that leaves me.
On another note, I think my family would frown upon us seeing each other before the ceremony.
I'm going back and forth- but at least I stil have time to decide!

For the purposed of photography we will be seeing each other before the ceremony. I still want the moment where FH sees me for the first time captured though. However, I am taking photos after the reception as well since the sun will be setting and I always wanted such a setting in my photos.

probably seeing him before for pics. our wedding isnt till 6:30 so we'd have the whole day for photography. my FSIL did the same, tho when she saw her FH it was just her, him and her photographer, so it was still a very intimate, special moment for the two of them.

Re: Did you or will you see him before?
i'm really torn. I know it makes more sense to have the pics before (if having wedding all at same place)...but I don't know. I want to see what more of you girls are doing! Not you church girls either :D

Re: Did you or will you see him before?
We did pictures before, and I'm so glad we did. It was crazy beforehand, but then we could relax and enjoy ourselves afterwards (well, as much as you ever get to relax at your wedding, which isn't much). Also, I would have been basically freaking out by the time the ceremony came if we had waited all day to see each other - I was pretty worked up as it was!
I highly recommend it for those having afternoon or evening weddings. All day is really just too long to wait to see each other, and it definitely doesn't make the ceremony any less special - trust me, we have pictures of my husband watching me walk down the aisle, and you'd never know from his grin that he'd already seen me that day!

we are going to see each other before the wedding to get the bulk of the pictures out of the way. The moment will still be special because he will be turned one way and then he will turn around to see me for the first time. so that the moment can be caught by the photographer.

my fiance didnt want to see me before the ceremony but we are getting married at the RH and would then have to take all our picures during the cocktail hour and miss the whole thing. so we are going to see each other just to save time

We did,, we wanted to get the pics out of the way so we were able to go to the cocktail hr.. and get most of the hellos out of the way.. We alreadie lived together for a yr prior soo,, But I did sleep over my mothers house for the last week so at least we were able to miss each other... lol Its a personal decision.

Re: Did you or will you see him before?
i will be taking my pics pre ceremony. I didn't have much of a choice since my ceremony is in the evening in December and the sun sets around 5 in the winter.

i never wanted to take pics before the ceremony until our photographer pointed out all the pros of doing so. FH isnt really for it though, im gonna have to work on him. i think if we can get the photographer to let us do a 'revealing' if you will, in private then FH will be ok. It will let us have our special moment of seeing eachother without the bridal party and everyone else staring

I'm also doing pictures before. I was torn at first but my ceremony starts at 8pm and if we don't do pictures before we won't have any picturs of us in the daylight together!

I'm not seeing him before. For me, it's just the whole tradition/superstition thing - I'm a sucker for that stuff!
But I do know people who have done pics beforehand so they could enjoy CH, and it worked out well for them.
Is it possible to leave a huge time gap between the ceremony and reception so you can take all your pics then and still do CH?

Re: Did you or will you see him before?
we wont see each other before b/c we are both very traditional. the other reason is we have a good amount of time btw. the ceremony and the reception

Re: Did you or will you see him before?
I know its a personal preference, but there is NO WAY my FH is seeing before the ceremony... I thought about it, alot, and I just decided to be traditional... Believe it or not, my family is sooo strict over that, they are making sure that he doesn't see me after midnight the night before the wedding... So, even if I wanted too, I couldn't.
