Where to take Groom/Groomsmen pictures?

MrsWilson2013

Me and my bridesmaids are doing our "getting ready photos" at the hotel and then going to the venue to take group pictures. But i am stuck on where the guys should do their pictures. They arent getting a hotel room and the house they are meeting up at is too far from the venue to have the photographer drive to, so i would like to find somewhere open to the public near our venue to have them go do photos at.

Where are you having your groom/groomsmen do their photo's at?

My DH didn't rent a hotel room either, but his brother did so he used his.  Do you have any OOT that might have a hotel room he could use?

If not, I wouldn't worry about it honestly.  There aren't that many groom getting ready photos.  You can certainly skip those.  And and as far as the regular groomsmen photos, I would just say do those at the venue.

Your photographer might be able to suggest something.

What about at the ceremony venue? We got married at a church and the girls and guys took their separate group pics outside on the Church's property beforehand.

The only problem is we have a time crunch and us ladies will be at the venue prior to the ceremony taking pictures and we DONT want a first look, so the guys cant be there until shortly before the ceremony.

What about the hotel lobby or even outside the hotel?  OUr GM are getting ready at the best man's house.  And we are actually having 2 photographers, one shooting the girls and another for the guys.
