I'm trying to work out my timings for the day - our church service starts at 12pm and we're getting ready half an hour away. TOG will be starting with us in the morning while we're getting ready, but he wants to be at the church 45mins before kick-off so that means he'd need to leave us at 10.45am!
I'm wondering if I need to be completely ready before he leaves for some photos, and if my 3 BMs, mum and dad also need to be ready by then. It's just mum and I having our make-up done by a MUA so there'll be enough time for that, but all 5 of us girls want our hair done so if we all need to be ready by 10.30 or before for photos we're either going to have an early start or need two hairdressers to whizz through us all from 8am-ish.
So what photos did you/will you have taken before your ceremony? Just getting ready or did you also have any with your BMs and parents when everyone is ready? I know all those photos could be done later on in the day as everyone will still be there (we're getting ready at the reception venue, so we'll return back to the same venue after the ceremony), but I quite like the idea of having photos with my girls and parents all looking lovely before the madness of trying to talk to all our guests takes hold.
Although thinking about it, there will be guests attending the wedding staying the night before at our venue so I can't have photos taken around the grounds until my guests have left in case they see me. The guests won't have left when the TOG leaves for the church though, so I can't actually have photos anywhere apart from in the room I'm getting ready in before the ceremony. It is a gorgeous room though so some shots of me and my girls and parents in there, all looking gorgeous and ready would be lovely...
