Photography Tip #18: Portraits Before the Wedding

Save time and save yourself the stress by considering taking your formal portraits before your wedding. Couples who do are glad they did. Most formal portraits can take anywhere from one hour to two hours depending on how extensive your portrait list is. It's mostly "crunch time" in between the ceremony and the reception when your guests are expecting you to arrive as a brand new couple. Doing your formal portraits before the actual ceremony relieves the pressure off when you and the bridal party are ready to break loose, start drinking, and have fun.

Some couples insist on not seeing each other until the actual ceremony. If that is case, strongly consider doing as many portraits as possible as individuals with your family and bridal party before the wedding.
