How long before your ceremony...

Are you getting dressed? I have no travel time to the church (right around the corner, I am walking) and was wondering when I should put my dress on? When should I tell the photog to be there? Thanks - all these last minute little things are killing me!!!!

My ceremony is at 2 pm. I was thinking of having the photographer come around 12 - 12 30. I wanted them to see me getting ready a bit, but also be able to set up some shots with my family and the BM's around the house.

I 'm a picture fanatic, so I want pleanty of time

Exactly what happened for ours....I had hair and makeup done earlier and then put on my dress RIGHT before the photographer came.

I got married at 7pm. Photographer showed up at 4pm. I was in my dress by about 4:05pm. My ceremony location was right around the corner too (5 minutes), so I didn't get picked up until about 650pm.

I wanted to have a lot of pics with all my girls and my family before the ceremony because I only had one hour between the ceremony/reception to do all the other pics. So he did those first, then left to meet up with DH at 6pm to do his pics with his guys and his family.

hours before! FH and I are taking pics for 3 hours before the ceremony, so I'll be in my dress pretty much all day - goodie!

Might as well get the most wear out of it!

My photography is coming at 10am because my ceremony starts at 1pm so I would think no later than 9/9:30am.

My photographer got there at 12:30 and they wanted pics of the dress without me in it, so I guess I put it on at around 12:45-1 and my ceremony was at 3.

I definitely want the pic of my dress alone, and of me getting my makeup done. So I guess I'll have the photographer come before I get dressed.

Dressed at 7
A few pics at house
8:10 left for Watermill (10 minutes late)
8:45 arrived at Watermill (poor DH I was 15 minutes late)
they set it up so we would see each other in the garden (9:00) Running later than I wanted too.

We just got all of mine done before the 11 am ceremony and I didn't have a bridal party.
