A common question couples will hear when planning a wedding is “are you seeing one another before the ceremony?”.
Now really the only time I really think its a definite benefit is when the ceremony and reception are in the same location. That would mean in order to get a large variety of images would be to do them during most of the cocktail hour.
So last week I had a wedding at the Jumping Brook CC down in Neptune NJ, when I initially met the bride she was pretty certain that they did NOT want to see one another before the ceremony that was also taking place at the Jumping Brook CC. At the same time however she also wanted to spend some time on the beach.
Granted, Jumping Brook is not far from the beach but In reality I knew it would be very difficult to come up with a huge variety of images and only 20 minutes to do them in.
A few months before the wedding the bride contacted me with a “change in plans” They had decided to see one another and with that single decision I knew how it would pay off for them.
More time + a fun group = fabulous images
