Getting Dressed for the Wedding

Good morning ladies!
Our photographer will be having pictures of us and our bridal party getting dressed and ready for the ceremony and it just occured to me that I do not know where this is going to happen.
We are having a Catholic wedding, do churches supply a room? Do you get ready in a hotel? Your house? I know these are all three options.
Where do you ladies get your pre-wedding pictures taken?

Thanks!

    You should ask the church if they have a room for you to get ready in or to even just change into your dress. My mom got ready at her parents house and dressed because the church didn't have a room big enough. My aunt also got ready at her parents house and dressed because the church did have a place, once again, big enough. My FSIL got ready at my FIL's but dressed there. They had a little room for the WP and family to wait in. For me, I have the whole Ladies locker room that has a huge lounge area, its a golf course. I will get my hair done at the salon and everything else will be down at my venue. 

    For Pictures, my mom and aunt did their at the their parents house, my FSIL at the church and we'll do ours at our venue.

    We got married at a hotel and we had a big suite for all the girls to get ready in... the guys got ready in my parents suite. If we didn't get married at a hotel we probably still would have gotten ready at whatever hotel we'd be staying at.

    We (the girls) will be getting ready at my parents' house, which have lots of space for us to store our dresses, get dressed, take pictures, primp etc.  It is also <5 minutes from the church so convenient to get to.

    The boys will either get ready at our house or at the best man (FI's brother)'s house.

    It depends on your church just aks your priest or church wedding coordinator.  I am also getting married in the catholic church and my parish has no rooms to use but the on emy cousin got married at last year had really nice rooms.  For my wedding we are getting ready at my parents house and the driving to the church, most pics will be at my parents house.

    I'm getting ready in a bridal suite at the place my reception will be held (it's also a hotel).  My Catholic church provides a room for the bride and maids before the ceremony starts.
