I recommend an hour or two of photographs before the wedding ceremony.  It's great fun if you're getting ready on your own or with family members to have a photographer there to document your anxiety..... I mean.... the build up to one of the most emotional days you'll ever have together.  I love the pace of this part of the wedding day,  it's often quite relaxed and then ramps up about 20mins before the actual ceremony!  Each couple are different and it's absolutely your choice as to how you would like this part of the day to play out.  Some people prefer to have a whole crowd around and all bundle in on helping to dress each other up.  I enjoy the heightened state of excitement before the ceremony and work around you in a calming manner.  Don't worry we are experts at ties and button holes by now and always ready with some handy tips for last minute nerves.
