Pictures before the ceremony?


Recommended Posts

you don't have to do your pics with your FH before the ceremony if you don't want to see him, you could just do the picks individual with your families, and with your wedding party, and alone, so that all you have left for after the ceremony are a few group shots and then you can focus on pics of the two of you together. This is what we did and it went really well. Also spreading out the photos a bit makes it less tiring.

Hi Im a Negril based photographer and I've taken pictures of the happy couple (not in wedding attire) at different locations before the ceremony. We can relax and have lots of fun. There is a special energy that couple's exude after getting married and with a good photographer, you can get great shots pretty much anytime before dark! The shots before capture the beauty of the place. If you really want shots at a certain time in wedding attire then thats ok too!

You know I toyed with this idea because it seemed that Photographers were able to get so many great photos BEFORE the wedding but it broke my heart to break with the tradition of waiting until I walked into the ceremony for the groom to see me for the first time so I got a great idea from a wedding photo slideshow that had wonderful photo session at the end of the night in the honeymoon suite.

 

Photos taken of the couple embracing in the room they would spend the night in as newly married husband and wife were so BEAUTIFUL and TENDER and SWEET that I decided that having those moments caputure were what I would rather do. The wedding photos are here:http://www.leighmillerphotography.co...in_and_michael

Almost all of my clients choose to see each other before. A lot of photographers email me to ask about it, so the post is geared to photographers, but it might have some helpful information.

Jill.... you said it great, my thoughts exactly! I have ALWAYS found that the pictures are more relaxed and natural if done before the ceremony as well. Which is exactly why Tim and I will be doing ALL the pictures prior to the ceremony because once we've said our vows it's PARTY TIME!!!!

I always feel awkward and intrusive pulling the couple away from their family members and guests to do pictures and the groom........well 9 times out of 10 can't wait for it to be over and is looking around for someone to get him a drink. I feel like the magic is lost at that point and you're holding them against their will!

The moments leading up to the ceremony are filled with such anticipation and excitement and I want that to be evident in my wedding images... So coming from experience that's why I said screw tradition.... I'm gonna do it my way!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
