    I would find that super odd. If you want to take photos before the ceremony and don't want your FH to see you in the dress, just don't take pictures together. You can still take pictures with your indiviudal sides of the wedding party or with your families.

    We did engagement photos a couple of months ago, but just in regular clothes. If the date on your profile is correct, then you're kind of out of time for those.

    We will be taking wedding photos on the day of, before the ceremony. We are doing a first look, and take most of the photos at that time, so we'll have them out of the way before the ceremony.

    But there are lots of couples who don't take engagement photos, or do a first look. Talk to your photographer about the timing of your day, to make sure you have enough time to take the photos you want. Pro photographers are usually really good about getting the bride & groom's input about what photos they want taken.

    I'm planning on doing as many pictures before the ceremony as possible, but none of which will include FH seeing me. We'll do the bridal party with me, me with my family, groomsman with FH and him with his family, and considering doing a "first touch" behind a door or something like that. That should cut down on the time you spend on after ceremony pictures, especially so the wedding party and immediate family can enjoy cocktail hour while you're doing photos with your new husband.

    If you're referring to engagement photos, yes that's perfectly normal. We're doing those in a dressy outfit and casual outfit.

    We're doing a first look and all the family and bride + groom photos before the ceremony so we can actually attend and enjoy our cocktail hour. If you want to have some time to attend your cocktail hour without doing a first look, you can still definitely knock out some photos beforehand, but you'd definitely want to be in your dress. If you don't want to be wearing your dress until right before the ceremony, you should skip photos until after the ceremony

    We are doing a first look and will get as many pics as we can out of the way before the ceremony so we only have family pics after. If you don't want a first look then do yours in reverse. Take pictures of you and your wedding party, maybe some with family before and finish the other pictures after.

    We did a first look in our attire for the wedding. I can't imagine taking pictures and then having to change again. It sounds like you might want to wait and take your pictures after.

    You can always do as many pictures separately beforehand. Like you and your bridesmaids, your FH and his groomsman, etc.

    I plan on doing before pictures. If you don't want him seeing you, maybe split up the photos. Before the cerwmony, complete groom pics first (ones with groomsmen, groom with his parents, etc.), then send him off. Then do your bride pics. After the wedding, complete the rest of the pics as a couple.

    No, I don’t plan on doing pics. Everyone these days are sooo obsessed with pictures for every little thing. I absolutely dislike taking pics.
