I don't want my fiancé to see my wedding gown until I come down the aisle. I've been told that photographers hate this. Why?

Because it means they have to rush to take all the photographs after the ceremony, while your guests are waiting for you at the reception. Many couples are disregarding this tradition and posing for all their formal shots an hour and a half to two hours before the ceremony. However, if you are really determined to "wow" your groom as you come down the aisle, then hold fast and don't let anyone talk you out of it. One solution is for the photographer to take as many photographs as possible before the ceremony that don't involve the bride and groom together. For example, all the photographs that include youeither alone, or with your parents, or with your bridesmaids and other attendants. Of course, the photographer can do the same with your fiancé and his family, groomsmen, etc.

Does the photographer take pictures during the ceremony?
|
He or she shouldn't; nothing is more distracting than the flashing and clicking of the camera during the ceremony itself. However, he or she will probably take photographs at the rear of the church as each member of the wedding party enters and leaves the site. (A photographer with the right equipment, however, can take photographs during the ceremony, zooming in on a timed shot from quite a distance away, with no flash required, or mounting the camera out of the congregation's view, on a balcony, for example.)

My parents are divorced, but they are on good terms with each other. Is it proper to have them stand beside me in a photograph?
|
Usually divorced parents do not appear together in the same photograph, but you may certainly use your own
