I would really love to go the traditional route and not have a first look before the ceremony, but here are my concerns:
-The ceremony and dinner are one hour apart. I'm not sure if this is enough time for group pictures.
-The ceremony area will be rearranged into the dance area during the cocktail hour/dinner, so there will be little room to actually take pictures.
-The wedding is in December, so there's not much we could do outside. Plus it will get dark out quite early.
Is this something that can be done or not? Could we take some pictures before the ceremony by ourselves, and have our pictures taken after the ceremony? I'm starting to accept the fact that this might be too risky, but I would love input and suggestions. How much time should we allow for photos? If we did all pictures before the wedding, how much time should we allow? Both families are fairly small. Any guidance is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
