Are you planning to see FH before ceremony for pics? At first, I wasn't planning on it, but we met with our first photographer and he really recommends it.
I am torn. I love the idea of him seeing me coming down the aisle - but I also want to attend the entire cocktail hour....

Re: Seeing FH before ceremony for pics?
We are seeing each other before our wedding too. My feelings is it's your wedding day NOT your wedding MOMENT. I'm getting married and having my reception at the same place. I refuse to miss all of my cocktail hr. We are having our first meeting on the beach and we can capture it with pictures and video. I don't want our first time seeing each other to be the moment we get married. I want to be able to share and enjoy it without a crowd around.

I feel the exact same way. I really want him to see me for the first time the second the doors open and I walk down. I think seeing eachother before the ceremony will take away from that moment. I'm sure that is a moment we will never forget and cherish forever

Re: Seeing FH before ceremony for pics?
We are having the ceremony at the hall, with the CH immediately following. If we were to take pics after the ceremony, we would miss the CH and part of the reception, probably. We will set up our own private moment, where we see each other for the first time in our 'Wedding gear' which will be captured by the potographer and videographer. I also think it will calm my nerves to see him before the ceremony. I also think we will have that 'feeling' all over again when I walk down the aisle. Its one thing to see me in the wedding dress, its another to see me in it walking down the aisle. This way we will have two 'moments' . Also there is no way we are going to miss CH!!

at first we were dead set against it but now we're warming up to the idea of seeing each other beforehand.

I will be seeing FI before the ceremony since our ceremony and reception are at the same place. It just makes sense to take all the pictures we can beforehand so we can enjoy our cocktail hour and reception with our photographer grabbing us to take pictures.

We aren't seeing each other beforehand. We'll miss the CH and take pics then. I just can't wait for that moment to start walking down the aisle and see the look on his face! I wouldn't want it any other way!!

Well being we have like 5 hours between the church and reception.. Im not worried about not getting enough pics.. I just feel that I want him to see me first when Im walking down the aisle... I want us to have that moment.

Couldn't agree more. I wouldn't want to see him before the ceremony, and both our parents would be dead-set against it! It's a nice idea to get teh photos out of the way, but I just couldn't do it.

same here i dont want to miss any of the party so all my picts will be outta the way family and all. just want to mingle and party. my picts start at 2:30 and my ceremony is at 7:30 so five hours of pictures should be enough LOL.
We are def seeing each other before hand. In the jewish religion we see each other in order to sign the ketubah (jewish marriage license), so there is no point in not having pictures taken in advance so that we can enjoy the cocktail hour!

Re: Seeing FH before ceremony for pics?
I really don't think that I have to worry about missing any of my CH, b/c my church(Merrick) is at 1 and reception(Baldwin) at 6:30. I think will have plenty of time, which is exactly the way I wanted it......I hate rushing around.

Re: Seeing FH before ceremony for pics?
My photographer convinced us to see each other before hand, I was really dead set against it, but FH really doesn't want to miss the cocktail hour and since our ceremony and reception are all at the same place, we would have to see each other before hand in order to be at the cocktail hour! They said they would make it really special when we see each other for the first time...EX-me walking down the stairway while FH is waiting at the bottom with his back turned!

I want to get all of the pictures taken ahead of time so I can enjoy the party. I actually want him to see me getting ready -- towards the end, I want him to come in and help me with my pearls. It is one of my must have pics.

I honestly think that it will make our day go easier to have all the posed pictures before the ceremony. Then when we are married, we can just let things flow and enjoy the party.

Re: Seeing FH before ceremony for pics?
I agree. If I wasn't getting married in the church I would most likely have the pics done before so I could enjoy my CH. All my brother keeps saying is how they should have gotten the pics done before and how they missed half there wedding because of pics. I am sure the photographer and the videographer will capture the moment. The first time you see eachother is going to be special whether it is while you walking down the aisle or getting ready to take pictures.

Re: Seeing FH before ceremony for pics?
Depending on the amount of time in between church and reception you should be able to get the pics in then. I WILL NOT see FH before church and we will have time to enjoy cocktail hour.. it is not a request. IT IS A MUST!
