good question! i don't think FI and I are doing a first look so for our pre-ceremony photos (just pics with bridal party and parents) so i don't think we will wear our wedding bands. I'll be holding a bouquet in most of them anyways and you prob won't be able to see it. i will be wearing my e-ring of course on my left hand.
If we were doing a first look (or do... we keep going back and forth!!) we prob still wouldn't..but thats just my preference.
but with all things wedding, let you and your FI do what you guys feel best :D
Thanks krissybee!
I guess we're confused because if we were doing photos after the ceremony, we'd be wearing our bands. So we're trying to decide whether the timing of the photos should really determine whether we wear our bands?
very good question! i didn't think of this as we are doing all oure pictures pre-ceremony...
i think we just might have to do this!
yeah i def see the dilemma there. i guess for me i like the idea of the photos capturing the "before" and "after" moments of the ceremony. no ring before and yay! we have our rings now and we are married!!!
In pictures i think the focus will of course be on your faces/dress (i know there will be hand shots/ring shots too) and not so much on your hands so i think its ok if different shots have you wearing them and not.
But if you want consistency in all the pics, then maybe wear them pre-ceremony. (especially if there is a favorite picture of you two taken before and you end of "wishing" you were wearing rings which def could happen too)
bottom line: for me i'd still not wear them before just because as i said i like the "before" and "after" official shots :D
I understand your thoughts completely. I think that's why we're torn, too.
For those of you voting "no," can you tell me why?
Maybe I should remove the poll. ;)
I'm being mean and making bees explain their answers now. :)
@JuneBride: So are you saying that you would wear your rings?
Hummm .... I don't know either - I want to see what more people say on this one. We're doing a first look too (although it took a lot of convincing for me to go for it) so I can certainly see wearing the wedding band as if you'd taken everything after the ceremony. But I can also see the appeal of having "before" and "after" photos (we're doing some pictures after the ceremony too).
@FutureKMM, those are my thoughts, too. I'd think we'd leave them off for the first look (since that obviously pre-ceremony), but I just can't decide if the timing should really matter for the others?
We won't wear our bands during our pre-ceremony photos with family and wedding party simply because we want to save them to exchange during the ceremony. After the ceremony, we are doing bride and groom pics, so there'll be plenty of time to take pics with the rings on.
I'm glad you brought this up because we were just thinking about this, this morning!! I guess we'll end up waiting to wear our rings until the ceremony, then just take a bunch of pics afterwards of course! We're also doing a first look, so I was concerned about not having rings, too!!!
Thanks for the thoughts, Vonnegurl and Miss Chocolate. We're planning on doing pretty much ALL of our photos before the ceremony, including the bride and groom shots. I'd think I'd want my rings on? But I'm so confused now. :)
Oh girl, I know... I'm tempted to wear my ring on my right hand and switch it for pictures, but I'm not sure! I know he won't have his band on till the ceremony. Oy! So confusing!
We're doing first look photos and we won't be wearing our wedding bands. I want to save them until the ceremony and I don't think it'll be noticeable anyway. we're taking some shots after the ceremony so we'll capture them then.
We did first look photos and we wore our rings. I hadn't thought about it beforehand and at the last minute decided to wear both rings for the photos.
@kaybee: Afterward, were you happy that you'd worn your wedding bands for your pre-ceremony photos (not just first look)?
We are doing first look and we are thinking about wearing each others rings prior to the ceremony. His will be on my thumb and mine will be on his pinky. We haven't decided for sure yet, but we are leaning that way.
yes - i think we will...course i'll have to discuss this with him - but i like the idea.
Thanks so much for the thoughts so far, everyone!!! :)

This may sound like a silly question, but it popped into my mind the other day.
Did/will you wear your engagement ring and wedding band for your pre-ceremony photos? Did/will your FI wear his wedding band?
When I thought of this the other day, I asked FI what he thought, and he said that of course we'd wear our wedding bands. It's our wedding day, after all. Made perfect sense.
But I've been looking at tons of wedding photos online, and often, the bride and groom aren't wearing wedding bands in their (what I assume to be) pre-ceremony photo session.
We'll be doing just about all of our photos pre-ceremony, including a first look. Would we wear the wedding bands for all of those, despite the first look being obviously pre-ceremony?
