You have a few options:
1) Do the pictures before the ceremony...then you're totally free to do whatever you want for the rest of the day.
2) Do the big departure with guests sending you off, drive the limo around the block and then scurry back inside the church for pictures
3)Use the limo departure for when you leave the reception.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the advice. We are doing some photos before the ceremony, however my fiance wants to be super traditional and not see each other before the wedding, so some pictures will have to be after.
I guess we'll have to do option #2... sounds so weird but I think it may be our only option? Has anyone done this? I am concerned that with the layout of the church some guests may stick around and see us sneaking back in and it will ruin the "magic" of the grand exit.....
I think Mrs. Dee to Bee has the best idea. I don't think it will ruin anything if you drive around the block and go back in the church for pics.
Do you pictures at the reception site. That is what we did. Everyone saw us off at the church as we pulled off in the limo. It was cute. Everyone took photos and the driver honked as we drove away.
We also happened to have a very scenic reception site, which helped.
I'm trying to convince the church to let us take some pictures before. Like me with my side of the family and then the groom and his side will come later. If we plan this right, I won't see my FH.
12:15-12:45 My family and I arrive at the church to take pictures
12:45 I must leave the church.
1:00-1:30 My fiance and his family arrive and take pictures
2:00-2:45 ceremony
2:45 to 3:15 The rest of the pictues at the church
3:30 Pictures at reception.
4:30 reception starts
I've seen it done where everyone gets in the limo, drives off, everyone chills for 5 minutes, then you come back to the church and sneak in for pictures. You could even come through the side door
Everybody figures you're not just leaving for real...there are formals to be taken!

My fiance and I are getting married in a church, and the reception site is about a 10 minute drive away. My parents have decided to surprise us with a limo, which is nice of them but makes things realllly complicated.
There are two things I want to do when we are done with the ceremony. 1) take pictures with our families and 2) get into the limo and have all the guests wave at us as we depart. I mean they've paid for this limo, people may as well watch us using it.
How does this work, timing-wise? Do we make our guests wait around till we are done with photos, then exit the church and get into the limo? Or do we take photos while the guests depart for the reception, and then we get into the limo but nobody other than our immediate families actually see us do it? Or should we just have our families meet us at another location (like the reception site) and we can take the pictures there?
Help! I am soo confused!!!!
