Sorry so long.

I will have my photographer for a total of 6 hrs minus the ceremony we can't have outside photographer at the chapel... This is what my timeline  is now from  8-9am getting ready photos of the ladies, 9-10 getting ready shots of the guys, 2-4 reception, 4-6 strip tour. Fiance said he didn't want getting ready shots. I am torn should I just keep the photographer for the ladies from 8-10 or should I just cancel the getting ready shots and use him for only 4hrs? Do i even need the getting ready shots, did u have them and if u didn't have them do u wish did take those photos.

Help!

Depending on what time you plan to be fully dressed and how many girls you have. 20 minutes is PLENTY of time to take pre pictures. He really needs just one of makeup pretending to be put on and you pretend being put in your dress. If you want some in your robe and with your girls in corrdinated pre dress outfits then you need an hour, otherwise.... he wont be doing much

I did getting ready shots and it didnt take much time at all. Honestly he was kinda in the way after a while. I'm glad I'm gonna have those shots but he didnt need much time to take them. Like M1ssJ said, 20 minutes was Plenty!!!

10:3--6 is my vote

I was wondering where you were...I am using Keith Kaplan. Are you doing getting ready photos? I am thinking of just having him for an hour from 10-11 until the limo comes to pick us up then he will meet us at the firefly for the rece[tion then after that we go on the photo strip tour.

M1ssJ

wait you guys dont get ceremony photos?

nursing2u

We do... but the chapels in Vegas.. most do not allow outside photographers... I am having "getting ready" photos...and then photos right after. Were not doing the "normal strip photos". I am using chiemi photography and she suggested other locations..which I love.. I trust her eye... We aren't keeping her the entire reception..that way we have her before the ceremony.. for photos and then at the reception

nursing2u

I think that would b good also.. if u have him do 10-1@.. what about having him ride with u in the limo.. or something.that way u could get photos during that time too?

I am getting ready photos from 10-11 the limo will pick us up and take us to the chapel. I don't think he will be able to go to the chapel with us. he will meet us at the reception. I really wanted to do the photo strip tour after the reception which will be from 4-6. keith said we could do the Venetian and the Palazzo inside and outside photos which will be 50 minutes then we will go to the belliago fountains.

What time is your wedding? Mine is at 12noon. 

nursing2u

Ours is at 7pm.. so she is going to be there I think 5 to 11 for 6hrs. And were having photos taken near CoF at some place she told me about. I looked it up and its a beautiful backdrop...not vegas-ey... which I don't mind

cindarelldoll

nice 7pm wedding. If u don't mind can u tell me where you are taking photos near COF? I don't want to see him before the.ceremony. She is going to ride with u to chapel in the limo then where will she go during ur ceremony? '

nursing2u

we are going to take some pics before the wedding.. we wanted to save some time.. those pics will be at the hotel.. I think we are going to get ready at the orleans since we have the free suite.. I have to look up the place she mentioned.. I can't remember the name..

I was saying that for you..having him ride with you guys... I think she is going to go to the place she was talking about and getting set up for us to meet her right after the ceremony.. I need to still check with her.. I figured that places away from the strip wont be as busy and we can get our photos completed and to the hotel by 8:30
