My fiance is super sweet and doesn't want to see me at all on the wedding day until I am walking down the aisle towards him. I absolutely love this idea, if I'm honest, and am more than happy to oblige.
Here's my concern.
We are getting married at 4pm, and our ceremony location is separate from the reception location (for a plethora of reasons). I want to make sure we have time to get photos together with me in my wedding dress, but I also don't want to keep the rest of our guests waiting for a long time while we're off getting pictures. The ceremony is at 4, the reception is at 6, and it's about a 30 minute trip from one place to the next (long story short--our venue is very in-the-middle-of-nowhere).
We have 6 hours of coverage with our photographer. For those who have gone through this (and those who have ideas), what's a good way to make sure everyone gets the pictures they need and we don't hold up the party after the ceremony? I'm trying to figure out how would could do all of his photos (him with his groomsmen/family) and if we could do mine separately BEFORE the ceremony, and then only have his and I's photos (with out family and with the bridal party and yada yada) after the fact?
Do you guys have any ideas, or thoughts on what it could look like? I was thinking we would do the "first look," since it's a lot more convenient, but he has his heart set and this is the only thing he's actually asked for so I really want to make this work for us.
