timeline - pictures before evening ceremony

our ceremony and reception are at the same location, and we are doing our photos before the ceremony, which starts at 5:00.  If you had your pictures taken pre-ceremony, would you mind sharing the timeline of your day?

  • I think our ceremony was at 5 and we started pictures at 1:30ish.

  • Love Stephiehall's timeline. Mine's not written out yet, just in my head. Plus my photog and I went over it already.

    Our ceremony's at 5:30 he's gonna arrive at about 3, start shooting me finishing getting ready, get some of FI, too. 3:45-5 p.m. will be pix of the two of us. We're not really having a wedding party so it won't take as long as others'.

    Also, we're doing group shots after, during sunset. <fingers crossed />
  • Our ceremony was at 6.  We had me, the BMs, my Mom and my H's Mom at the venue by 3:30 to get into our dresses and do pictures.  The guys came around 4:45 I think and then we stayed in the bridal suite while they did pictures.  Then during the cocktail hour, we finished up all of the pictures while the guests had drinks and appetizers.
