what do i do if my to be hubby doesnt want to take pictures before wedding?

jenal

he doesn't want to see me before the ceremony. So what other ideas do you have for me to take pictures?

Takee them in between your ceremony and reception, or take them after your reception?

Before our ceremony the only pictures being taken are of me and the ladies getting ready and heading down to the chapel. We are taking family shots and pictures of us between the ceremony and reception.

Ditto. This is our plan also.

Same.  However we are also doing the "Groom and GM only" shots beforehand as well.  After the ceremony it will be us with families, then the whole wedding party, then just us.  Our planner sent us a whole breakdown of how the pictures will work out.

Double ditto- doing the same thing as dvohnout and stinkerbell.

I actually have 2 photographers one will be with the Groom getting ready and one will be with me getting ready! Then we will do pictures after the ceremony! He really wants to see me for the first time when I am released through the french doors of our venue!

We have the same situation, and I have to say that I think it's really sweet that my FI wants to be surprised as I walk through those doors.

Our ceremony is at 5pm, and our reception is at 7pm.  So, I'm thinking we'll have about 1.5 hours or so of photo time.  I'm hoping to do the "before" pictures with my bridesmaids & I, my mom, etc. I believe I have my photographer from 2pm-10pm.

My DH didn't want to do this either.  When I showed him what our timeline looked like if we did everything afterwards he changed his mind.

Seeing him beforehand turned out to be a great decision for us because it was the only time we had alone all day.  We spent a couple of hours just enjoying each other's company and it allowed us both to be more relaxed for our ceremony and enjoy every minute.  and no, it didn't take away from how special it was to see him at the end of the aisle waiting for me.
