When should formal
pictures be taken?
This is something that you need
to discuss with your church or ceremony location coordinator and
your photographer. In the past, pictures were taken after the
ceremony, before the reception. However, in recent years couples
are increasingly choosing to take all of the pictures before the
ceremony, assuming that the church will allow you to do so.
Taking the pictures early has
several advantages: if anyone in the wedding party is late, they
will be late for pictures, not the ceremony; you will be fresher
and your dress and flowers will look nicer; it helps you to relax
before the ceremony.
Another option is to take the
separate photos of the bride and groom before the ceremony, then
take the pictures of the couple together, the entire wedding party
and families after the ceremony.
If you choose to do pictures
after the ceremony, be sure that your guests have food and
beverage at the reception location while they wait for you to
arrive. If they don't, you run the risk of guests leaving early.
