Let Him See You Before the Ceremony

It may not be tradition, but there are so many great reasons you should let him see you before the ceremony. For one thing, most couples today live together before getting married and often date for long periods of time. You become each others confidant and trusted companion. Seeing each other before the ceremony is private, it's your moment together, and it eliminates the nervous jitters right from the start.

Photographically speaking, it's always a much stronger opportunity. You embrace, you check each other out, and it often brings out emotions that radiate love in print. Looking beyond that, it offers family and opportunity to have portraits taken before the event. Getting portraits out of the way allows couples to spend the rest of their day living in the moment. And, it allows your photographer to tell a true story that unfolds naturally in the album from beginning to end.

So, when figuring out ways to plan the days events, take into consideration the option of seeing each other before the ceremony. Chances are, if you weigh the advantages, you'll agree that it just makes sense.
