The standard procedure of many photographers is to take the posed pictures of the wedding party immediately after the ceremony. It’s what I had always witnessed until my own wedding. The photographer we hired had a different approach to the matter; he asked us if we were open to the idea of doing the wedding party photos before the ceremony.
He explained that if we were willing to come in early and do this, we could enjoy our wedding ceremony and reception without any interruptions. Frankly, it had never occurred to me to do this, but I have to admit is was great!
The wedding party always arrives at the church or ceremony location early anyway, so why not utilize the extra time by getting the posed photographs taken then. I have to tell you it was wonderful! We had our ceremony, walked back up the isle, out the church doors, into the waiting limo and arrived at out reception before the guests. We set up the greeting line and it worked out perfectly.
Forget about being superstitious, this is the way to go! Trust me.

I don’t like this idea at all! I am too traditional maybe, I don’t want my husband-to-be to see me before I walk down the aisle to him!…just my opinion
