Pictures Before or After?

knl1027

I was wondering if anyone has thought about doing their pictures before or after the ceremony.  I'm leaning towards doing them before.  I know it's traditional to do them after the ceremony, but I know I'll probably be nervous about being in front of so many people, and seeing my FI before would help to keep the nerves away.  I also would like to be able to enjoy my reception.  What are everyone's thoughts?

[QUOTE]I'm definitely doing the pics with my FI after the ceremony. We will be doing bridal and groomsmen pics prior to the ceremony, <strong>but I am totally banking on my FI crying when those huge double doors open in the church.</strong> He is not too emotional, but it's something I hope happens. I am not risking that not happening because he sees me beforehand! lol ;-D

I'm planning the same thing. I want the bridal party pics of girls and the boys seperate before and then we can get together after.  I want the traditional "not seeing each other" before the wedding!   ... I bet he'll cry! <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />



FI and I - at our best
