Edmonton Wedding Tip: Photos Before the Ceremony

More and more couples are choosing to break tradition and see each other before they walk down the aisle. While this change of format isn’t for everyone, taking photos before the ceremony offers a few key benefits:

  • Calm those nerves: If you’re the anxious type, hanging out with the bridal party beforehand will help you relax before the ceremony;
  • Feeling fresh: You (and your flowers) will look your best during photos;
  • Gone with the gap: If your ceremony and reception are being held at the same venue, taking photos first makes a lot of sense and saves your guests the painful wait in between events;
  • Capture the moment: You can still have a wonderful first moment together, and your photographer(s) can ensure it’s captured at all angles.
