Timing of Wedding Day Photos? Opinons/Help needed!

Okay.. I need some advice.

First of all, my OH is very traditional in that the first time he sees me will be when I'm walking down the "isle" (it's an outdoor park wedding.. not really an isle). He does not want to do a "first look" or any photos before the ceremony.

So what do we do about our pictures? We are only having about 45 people in an overlook at a park. No music, or dancing. Just some food and drinks. It will be very causual, but we still have a photographer and I don't want to seem rude leaving our guests for awhile to take pictures. Is there anyway around this? MOST of the people attending are family, and I really don't think they'd mine (in fact... most will be in some of the pics)but I just feel strange beacuse we don't have anything (beyond food) to keep them occupied!

    I think you should and could do some pictures before.  It can be the wedding party portraits only.  Just the girls/just the guys. If you time it right, there is zero chance of accidently seeing each other. Just get something out of the way.  The worst is when you are a guest at a wedding and have to wait a long time for the bride and groom. It almost always extends longer then expected. I've had to wait at several weddings, not fun!

    PP's idea is good. This way you would have a huge chunk of pictures out of the way, and the wedding party could possibly help with the entertaining of guests?!

    I see and agree with what you're saying, but we have no brial party. It's just him and I and our guests. I will be the last one arriving the in the park the day we get married (there isn't really anywhere to hide) and there aren't really any shots we could get before hand, ya know? I guess we will just take some after we all eat. That way we aren't abandoning them RIGHT after we get married.

    well if that's the case, how long is the reception? is it possible to take pictures after everyone leaves? if it's only you two and some family, pictures won't take long. andif there is food and drinks, people might not notice your brief absence.

    Since the majority of your guests are family I assume they will be in some of the photos. Are you having a cocktail "hour"? As long as your guests are eating/drinking while you are taking pictures it shouldn't be an issue. The cocktail hour is typically when the bridal party pictures are being taken.
