    What is your itinerary for the day of the wedding?  I'm confused because I'm not sure how I'm going to fit all the pictures in because I want to have the photographer be there as I'm getting ready for the wedding but also be there when I am at the alter, at the reception, and the tea ceremony. 

    How many hours did you have the photographer take pictures with you?  Since my wedding starts at 10:30am, what do you think I should do?  Take a lot of pictures during the break between the ceremony and the reception? 

    For those who are Chinese, how did you arrange your tea ceremony?

    my tea ceremony will be at 8am, my ceremony will start at 12pm, reception ending at 5pm and my photographer will be at my house at 7am until the wedding is over.

     

    We plan to be at the venue 2 hours before the event and spend about 1-1/2 talking pictures and then after the ceremony we plan take 1 hour to take pictures during the cocktail hour

    Are you having your husband to be see you before the wedding to take pictures before the cermony starts?  Because our wedding starts at 1030am and we are supposed to be out of the venue at 3pm, unless of course we decide to pay more for an additional hour.

    I was thinking about taking an hour in between the ceremony and the reception to have pictures taken.  Probably for an hour.  Do you think that an hour and a half is too long for people to wait before going into the reception hall to get seated?

    I think I will most likely have the tea ceremony following the reception since I will already be changed into it during the reception.

    yes he will see me before the wedding because he will be at my house for the tea ceremony but i will not be in my wedding dress. we will be taking pictures about one hour and 15 mins before the ceremony starts and then one hour after the ceremony starts in my wedding gown. the one hour is for the cocktail hour, i only have one hour because my wedding is at 12 so i didn't want to do more then a hour for the guest to wait for to eat at the reception but of course, the cocktail hour will have some food. i think it depends on what time you want to do the hour and half for your wedding pictures, what time would that make the reception start?
