Are you,your groom, family & bridal party going to be taking the pictures before your ceremony or afterwards?

At first I wanted to have them taken before that way we didn't leave our guests waiting at the reception after the ceremony, but my future husband REFUSES to see me in my dress before the ceremony so now I suppose we will have to get them done after the ceremony.... but I am going to try to see if maybe we can get some shots done before like me with my girls, me with my daughter (flower girl) and son (ring bearer) and then just them together and me with my family that way there are some pictures already out of the way if there is time for this before the ceremony!

How are you doing it?

    I think we're going to do our pictures before the ceremony because we only have 15 minutes in the church once the ceremony is over.

    That sucks Crystal about the time you have in the church afterwards. Not much time at all. Have you thought about maybe finding a pretty spot outdoors to have pictures taken afterwards like a nice park or garden or by a lake that is close by the church or in between the church and your reception location? Just something for you to consider even if you do take your pictures before. Can't have too many picture options =)

    Yea that does suck. Good idea about maybe finding another spot to take pics though. The inside of the church is just so gorgeous!!! Wish I had pics of it on my computer.

    We're undecided on this one, all we know is that if we do any before the ceremony, it will only be FH and his GM and then me and my girls seperately, and then do the ones of me and FH and the whole BP after the ceremony

    Well, your photographer will get lots of photos during the ceremony so you will still have photos that were taken in the church. Of if they allow you to take pictures in the church before then you can also do that. BUT worse case, if there is not enough time to get all of them then good 2 have a backup location (park, lake, garden, etc) that is close by to ceremony or reception location or heck even on the way!
