Bride & Groom photos taken before the wedding ceremony
More and more couples are opting for a First Look and getting your images taken before the ceremony can have many benefits.
Pros:
The first time you see each other is private and shared just between you two
You will have time to process any feelings you're having and process those feelings without a million pairs of eyes on you
You both will look your freshest!
It saves time
It is less stressful for you
The nerves of seeing each other for the first time will be gone and then you can simply look forward to and enjoy your ceremony
Helps to ensure that there is enough time for the most important photos (the ones of you two!)
You can schedule all wedding party photos before the ceremony, so afterward all the formal images left to take are family photos and then you’ll be able to head to your reception quickly instead of having your guests wait for a longer period of time.
This is a great trial run of walking around and moving in your dress before you have to do it in front of everyone at your ceremony!
No couple has ever regretted doing a first look
Cons:
Seeing each other before the ceremony goes against tradition
Bride & Groom Photos after the wedding ceremony
You do not see each other before the ceremony and the first time you see each other is when you're walking down the aisle.
Pros:
You get to keep up with tradition
If you want to have a cocktail hour for guests between the ceremony and reception, taking the bulk of your images after the ceremony will allow your guests to mingle and enjoy drinks while you’re getting your pictures taken.
Cons:
If the ceremony begins late, or family photos run longer than expected, then it’s always the bride and groom photo time that gets cut short.
The photo time after the ceremony will take longer so guests will have approximately an hour and a half to two-hour break from when the ceremony ends to when the reception begins (this can be a pro or con depending on if you want to entertain your guests during this time or not!) Side note: Make sure if you're getting married during Fall/Winter you know when sunset is and you plan your ceremony early enough so you're not taking couples photos in the dark if you're planning for outdoor ceremony/photos.
