Hi everyone!
We're getting married in November, 2015 and are starting to (try to) figure out the logistical details (which are so not our thing). We are getting married on a Friday in a Catholic church, with the ceremony starting at 4:30 and reception at a hotel at 6:00. So, after both fiance and I got used to the idea, we decided to do a first look and basically all of our photos before the ceremony so that we can have daylight photos. We want to have a limo to take the bridal party around town with us to do photos for a couple hours prior to the ceremony, but I'd also love to just have some time alone with my fiance first (maybe a half hour) to do the first look. We are all going to be getting ready at the hotel where the reception is the morning of the wedding, but I don't really want to do the first look photos there (not really sure why except I've always imagined all of our wedding photos to be in the downtown area of our home and then at the church). With all that info, my question is this: How do we do this, or is it even possible? Should my fiance and I drive somewhere (separately) to do first look photos, then have a limo pick up the bridal party at the hotel and meet us for the rest of the photos? Or should I suck it up and find somewhere at the hotel that we like to do the first look, and then have the limo pick us up after? That seems like the easiest option, now that I've put it that way. But still, any suggestions or input would be very helpful! Thank you!
