How long was/is the time between your Ceremony and Reception for pictures? I just wanted to get a feel for what other people did or are doing to compare. TIA!
It kind of depends how many you want to take beforehand. H and I did not want to do a first look, so we only took photos separately with Bms and GMs before the ceremony. We allotted about two hours for formal family shots, WP shots, and B&G shots between the ceremony and reception. We went to a couple different locations.
We did an hour and a half before the ceremony and about 45 minutes afterwards. We did a first look, but even if we hadn't, we would have still taken as many as we could beforehand like the PP said.
We alloted a full hour for cocktails after the ceremony for our pictures and took about 45 minutes. But that was only because we had done so many beforehand.
<div>I always tell my couples that it really depends on how big is your family. How many family combinations you want? I would say at least an hour and if you have a big family (example: divorced parents, lots of siblings) then add another half hour. That way half an hour for your family photos and the rest 30-45mins just for the two of you.</div><div> </div><div>I hope this helps.</div><div> </div><div>Danya Jimenez</div><div>Photographer</div><div> </div>In Response to <a href="http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/special-topic-wedding-boards_photos-video_how-much-time-between-ceremony-and-reception-for-pictures?plckFindPostKey=Cat:Special%20Topic%20Wedding%20BoardsForum:30Discussion:7d053597-ce6f-410f-8e6a-e2aeb938abd5Post:510d4e06-b82f-4513-a2b1-cacd3f935694">How much time between Ceremony and Reception for Pictures?</a>: [QUOTE]How long was/is the time between your Ceremony and Reception for pictures?
