Wear Wedding bands before ceremony for photos?

Since we are taking about all of our photos before the ceremony should we wear our wedding bands during some of them so the bands are in pictures??? I thought it may look funny if none/very few of our pictures has the groom wearing his wedding band and the bride with her ring

    We didn't do couple photos prior to the wedding but we did do some individual shots and us with each of our respective bridal parties. In them, H had no ring on and I was only wearing my e-ring.

    I think taking some shots beforehand with no wedding bands is fine, and then your photographer can take a few after of your rings/you with your rings on. Honestly, in most of our photos together, you can't even see our rings that clearly unless it was a shot that was purposely supposed to highlight our rings.

  • We did a first look and did not wear our rings in those photos. We weren't married yet and we weren't trying to pretend that the photos happened after the ceremony. We have a couple pics of us afterwards. I am all about the documentation of the day being the way it actually happened not trying to make it seem like something it's not, KWIM?
  • We will be doing a first look shoot and we will not be wearing our rings. We will do a couple shots after the ceremoney with our rings on though.
  • We did almost all our pictures before the ceremony and weren't wearing our wedding bands. I doubt you could tell what's on our fingers anyway. 
  • We're doing first looks and all family/bridal party pictures before the ceremony and won't be wearing our rings - we'll do about 10-20 minutes of "just us" pictures during the beginning of the cocktail hour after the ceremony, and will get the 'ring shots" then.

  • We did all of our photos before the ceremony & did not wear our bands. I don't even think I noticed it in any of our pics.
