Wedding Photography Tip: Seeing The Bride Before The Ceremony

It’s more common than one would think, brides and grooms are breaking tradition and seeing each other before the actual wedding ceremony in order to get their wedding photos out of the way. This is particularly a good idea if the couple are under time constraints with their wedding photographer or the wedding venue itself. Now, we understand that some brides may frown upon this practice, but think about it. If you don’t want to be rushed for your wedding photos and are short on time after the ceremony, then seeing each other before the ceremony may not be a bad idea.

Some brides may argue that being seen for the first time as they walk down the aisle by their future husband is more important than the photos themselves. Our response, you can get the same reaction by your man even before you walk down the aisle. Have your photographer either blindfold the groom or have him facing away from you. As you walk toward him, he will slowly turn around and the photographer can capture those first moments of his expression. You can even add some romantic music to the entire process, making it more romantic and special; perhaps a special song that you would not have added to your wedding processional.
