    We did. About 2 hours before the cocktail hour we saw each other. I walked up to my fiance whose back was turned and we greeted each other for the first time. It was a really nice moment. Then we took pictures, then we had the cocktail hour with bedeken, and then the ceremony.

    yes we saw each other before and took almost all of our pictures before the ceremony.  you will see each other for the bedeken anywho so i don't think there should be any issue with seeing each other before the chuppah imo.

    Yes, I saw him for pics ahead of time. That's what I've seen done at Jewish weddings for as long as I can remember (at least at reform weddings; I don't know about conservative and orthodox).

    We're doing some pics before the ketubah signing and then more pictures with family after the ceremony.

    We are doing about 60-75 minutes of pictures of just us, then all the family formals before the ceremony, then a few more pictures of just us enroute to the cocktail hour afterwards.

    We didn't see each other before the badeken (traditional Conservative wedding). We took separate pictures with our families before the badeken then pictures together between yichud and the reception (during the  second half of the cocktail hour). We also did a few large group photos at the very end of the wedding. It may depend on what kind of photos you want and how many people are involved.

    We will see eachother right before ketubah signing and take some pics together and with the bridal party.  I have a HUGE family, so I want to get those done so that we can do family pics during the cocktail hour. 

    We are having a conservative wedding, I thought the bedeken was after the ketubah signing?

    What I've seen done and I think is cool is for the bride and groom to meet privately before the Bedeken.  Groom is told to be somewhere and left there and then when the bride is ready she greets him there.  It's a nice way to share a private moment together and see each other without everyone else.  You can also have your photographer there to capture the moment if you'd like.
