I was one that held to tradition, but wanted outdoor shots and didn’t get it because of the time crunch. Wish it could have been different and utterly dissappointed with my photographer. Well said Kim, it’s a time you will never get back! I love your work and wish I had an awesome photog like you for my special day.

I was very on the fence about this issue. I want to thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. This article has made me confident and happy with my decision to take pictures before the ceremony.

You make some good points, but for me, I’m just not convinced :) I’m having a very small wedding, so I don’t think I’ll be too far away to see his reaction. We’ll have so many private moments as a couple that I feel like the wedding is about making our love public. I’m early on in the planning stages, so I might eat my words once I look at the “sliver of time,” but for now I hope to not see my groom the morning of.

I loved seeing my groom before our ceremony!!! Some of my favorite pictures came from those few minutes before I walked down the aisle. His reaction to seeing me in my gown was much more genuine and sweet… and we got to kiss : )

Awesome explanation Kim. You can tell it was written from the heart and through experience. You have offered brides wonderful details to consider when choosing the best way to capture her day. I love the bride that you shared in your beautiful pictures. That was an incredible wedding.
