So my family and I are currently debating wheter or not to take pictures before the ceremony. We are getting married at the RH and I really don't want to miss all of CH and be pulled from my reception. I also love the first look pictures I've seen online. What are you ladies doing or what did you do? Does anyone who took pictures before regret it?
I'm all about taking the pics before the ceremony! I think it's still going to be exciting for FH an I when I walk down the aisle if we do pics before. Plus we don't wan to miss any of the party, enjoying CH is a must!
I like the idea of it, but I'm sooo unsure if I should do it or not! I'm not a super traditional person, but I just feel like I always wanted the first time my groom sees me to be when I walk down the aisle. I've had a lot of friends do the big reveal, and they do not regret it at all...It's just so tough to make that choice!! lol
we did all the pictures befor the ceremony, it was great so that we could be part of the CH.

I am not doing a reveal but we also have 3 hours between the church and the cocktail hour. If I were getting married at the RH I would do pictures before the ceremony.
The best part of any wedding is the cocktail hour and I don't want to miss it. I also want to chat with all my guests during the cocktail hour so I can enjoy the reception and dance all night.
We're definitely doing pics before the ceremony. I don't want to miss any of the CH, the day goes by so fast as it is, why would I want to take away more time from it? Plus, I'm a huge cry baby and know I'm gonna be a hot mess when he sees me for the first time, so I'd prefer that not happen in front of 200 of my closest friends and family. Lol.
We aren't doing a first look - I can't wait to see FH's face when i'm walking down the aisle! We are also getting married in a church and have time between the ceremony and reception to take photos, so that certainly makes it convenient. It would be a different story if we were getting married on-site.

FH and I are doing the traditional church wedding. Neither of us wanted to do the reveal.
We are doing a church ceremony but if I wasn't I still wouldn't do a reveal. I guess I'm a little old fashioned.

We're doing a reveal!! I love the idea of having this private moment between the two of us and having it caught on film. We're also having a 4pm ceremony in the middle of winter so I don't want it to be cold and dark when we do photos. Everything will be done before and then the BP can also enjoy cocktail hour as well!! We plan on being outside for about 10-15 minutes for sunset photos outside after our ceremony and before cocktail hour :)
We are super traditional so we won't be seeing each other until the church doors open and I see my FH at the end of the aisle! Getting goosebumps just thinking about it.

I am having my ceremony at the RH and we are planning on doing a reveal and photos before the ceremony. You spend so much time in planning the CH and reception I don't want to miss a second :)
hell yeah. i want to enjoy cocktail hour!
We're likely taking pics before the wedding and family pics after hopefully should take only 30 mins...we really want to enjoy at least half of our cocktail hour. Also, I think seeing each other before will relieve some of the emotions..don't want to mess up my makeup crying,lol
