Pictures Before the Wedding
Before wedding pictures are just as important as the other pictures. You want to have the memories of getting ready and talking with your bridesmaids and groomsmen. You may have many friends at the wedding that have not been seated that will want pictures of you with them.

They do however stand outside on opposite sides of the building from the groom. Make sure to have plenty of pictures taken.
Pictures During the Wedding
During the ceremony, the photographer will take picture of the seated guests and the brides walk down the aisle. The photographer will cover the lighting of the candles, the exchange of the wedding rings and the first kiss as husband and wife. The photographer will take pictures through the entire ceremony. You will have pictures taken as you turn to the guests and are introduced as husband and wife. Then there will be picture taken of the receiving line where your guests meet you and your new husband.
Pictures After the Wedding
After you have accepted your congrats from your guests, you will have pictures taken in the church. This will include the wedding party and the families of both sides. The pictures will take about an hour or more depending on the size of the wedding and the families. If you will also have outdoors pictures, you may have to travel for those depending on where you choose to have them taken. Then it is onto the reception for more pictures. Then you can relax, but you will still be the subject of many more pictures.
