I'm having an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception in the same resort in Sedona. I want to take a lot of pictures in between as my fiance and I have decided not to see each other before the ceremony. I want to take pictures at this spot about 15-20 mins away from the resort, but not sure if I would have time before the reception. How long is too long of a time to have between ceremony and reception? 2 hours? Is it rude to encourage guests to leave the resort and wander around in a cute arts and craftsy village (Tlaquepaque for those who know it) next to the resort then come back for cocktails and appetizers for another hour before the reception?
For those who don't know it, here's the link to the shops that borders the resort

Re: How long should guests wait between ceremony and reception if both are in the same location?
Still here and still fabulous!
But anway, we've decided we'll just do a day-after session. So we'll do photography as planned which is separate photos before the ceremony (me, my girls, my family while he takes pics with his guys and family). Then after the ceremony, the guests will go straight to cocktails for an hour while we do combined family photos and wedding party. We won't be leaving the resort and we'll just head into reception after the cocktail hour.
Thanks to everyone who commented!
