Is anyone doing pictures before the ceremony?


Recommended Posts

I'd like to take some pictures before the ceremony. I like the pictures you can get before the ceremony starts. Otherwise the picture of him the first time he sees you is just of him & you are so far away. I want to be next to each other. I also think it will calm me down & help me not cry so much.

 

I imagined we'd take these pictures somewhere near our room. I'd still like to go out to the beach for some shots after the ceremony. I think it will be nice to have that time alone (plus photographer) together right after.

 

One thing to think about is you won't have your wedding band before the ceremony so you may not want to take all your pictures then. I'm not getting a seperate band so it doesn't really matter.

Tom and I are doing our non-beach pics ahead of time (the ones where we see each other for the first time) but all other pics will be afterwards ... but I don't think will take the entire cocktail hour time since we'll do all the after-ceremony pics on the beach and the reception is on the beach so we won't be trouncing all over the resort afterwards. thank goodness.

We decided to wait and do all pictures after the ceremony. We just want to keep that anticipation. I was also afraid that if we do before pictures, since many of our guests are staying very close to us, they would see us before the ceremony as well. And as a guest, I love that anticiaption of seeing the bride & groom nervous and so excited to see each other.

 

Although I wish we could do some shots before, b/c I'm afraid we're going to lose the light! We'll just have to do them very quickly!

    • 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!
