Hey Ladies! I need some suggestions! Heres the story...
We are having a somewhat destination wedding (about 2-2.5 hours from most family and friends). We were planning on bussing most guests from the hotels, to the church (full catholic mass- 1 hr), to the reception, and back to the hotels at the end of the night. The problem, is that if we have the buses take the guests to the reception immediately after the ceremony, the photographer says we wont have enough time for pictures. She says we need at least 1 hour and 20 minutes for pictures, and that we have to be at our cocktail party for at least 10 minutes so she has some time to take "detail" pictures of the reception before anyone enters. We don't want to take any pictures before the ceremony because I love the whole "everyone sees the bride when the church doors open" kind of feel. We also didn't want our guests to have too much of a break in between ceremony and reception (with the hour mass, its kind of a long day anyway, and I feel like everyone is going to want to get the party started!)
Does anyone have suggestions on what to do? How to add more time between ceremony and reception for these pictures??
help!
