Originally, we were doing pics before the ceremony so that we could enjoy CH. Lately, FH has been saying that seeing me come down the aisle in my dress is the first time he wants to see me that day. I'm torn. I posted on the 09 board but the responses are slow coming in...I need help now!!! Can you really get a lot of pics during CH w/o feeling rushed??
Do you have any time in between? I have a huge break in between the ceremony and CH so we're taking pics in between.

we're doing pics before the ceremony but our photographer will be shooting the 'wow' effect...fh back will be turned towards me as I approach him and the cameras will be on him when he turns around to see me! I may also change things up a bit before the ceremony like adding the veil then or changing my hairstyle

We're doing ours before. I was the one that was torn about it, but the tradition is quite entiquated and when I looked up the meaning behind it, along with reading an article that someone here posted a long time ago, I swayed in the other direction.
I want to enjoy the CH as much as I possibly can!
since we have a lot of time in between we are doing our pictures after the ceremony.
Both are in the same place, but I like that wow thing...I also like the idea of adding the veil after, since it will cover my face. He should still get the wow effect. What about just doing the girl photo shoot before and during CH, the entire BP and the guys? Is anyone doing this?
I'm doing mine b4 because our ceremony is 8pm and I wanted daylight pics plus I love to party and i want to def enjoy the CH. I also want to thank most of guests for coming in the CH so that it doesnt take up too much time in the recpt. What you can do is what we are doing, which is have FH stand at the alter while you walk down and have the photographer take pics of that. He will stil get to see you walk down the aisle in your dress before you take any other pics. That can be your first pic. Just have his turn his back and turn around when you are about to walk down.

this is what we are doing.
since we are getting married at the rh we dont have that large gap like other brides who are getting married at a church.
plus we really want to enjoy our ch![]()

We're doing it right after the ceremony. The church is at 6:15 and cocktail hour starts at 8.

Me too
we are doing our pics together after the ceremony. me and my girls will be taking our pics before the ceremony as will he and the gm's. I know we are going to miss our CH but to me seeing eachother the first time walking down the isle means a lost to the both of us.

we are doing ours before for a few reasons..
1. we dont have time in between ceremony and CH
2. we want to go to CH
3. pics are important to us and we dont want to feel rushed
4. i prefer our 'reveal' moment be captured alone, that way at least i can kiss and hug him...i cant do that if i walk down the aisle
