How long did you take pictures?
We had a friends wedding last week and they had almost 3 hours of pictures at 3 different places ... We got ALL of our formal pictures done in less then 1 1/2 hours and only at the church and a local park. (we also got candid ones at the bar inbetween the wedding).
I'm had a bit of a meltdown thinking I didnt get enough pictures and such since we got ours done in such a "short" time frame. I keep telling myself though that out of the 200+ pictures taken, we'll only really use 15 of them for stuff. The rest will be put on-line & in scrap books.
How long did you take pictures for? Anyone else feel like they should have taken more pictures? Less pictures?

It's a bit of a blur now, but honestly I think we just did about 1 1/2 hours worth of pictures between the church and the reception. Our reception was perfect to take a TON of pics because it had a pond, beautiful trees, etc for background. Our ceremony was over at 3:30 and we were at the reception by 5. The guys took their pictures before hand outside of the park. I took pics with the girls at the reception venue.
I don't think I would have wanted 3 hours of pictures between the ceremony and the party. Honestly, I was hungry, thirsty and ready to party. I just got my pics today and I can already see I'm going to have a hard time selecting pics to fill my album. Not because there aren't enough....there are TOO many to choose from!
Would it have been fun to do something crazy in between the church and the reception (like putt-putt, ice cream, carnival, park)? Sure, but 1) I didn't think of it at the time and 2)it really wasn't necessary.
There was just too many people to coordinate honestly and any other pictures we wanted we made sure to get them at the reception hall.
I think when all is said and done you'll be happy with what you got, I think 3 hours in one "sitting" is way too long personally..spread out fine (like Jacqui did), but otherwise...
We also did a reveal before the ceremony! It was an amazing time for DH and I. Then we did pictures with parents and the bridal party before doing a bunch alone. In all, we probably took pictures for just over an hour.
We meant to do family pictures during the cocktail hour, but got caught up in all the festivities and totally forgot. This is a small regret, but I cannot dwell on it now.
I cannot wait to see our pictures!

We did about 1.5 hours worth of photos between the ceremony and the reception. I had about an hour of pictures before the ceremony with my bridemaids/moms and the guys did the same thing.
I loved the pictures we go, but I would have really liked to have a little more time for photos, especially pictures of me and DH. We didn't get that many.
I'd love to do a rock the dress photo session at some point, but we'll see.
Thanks ladies, I'm feel a little better. We did the reveal before and that's when we took all of our photos was before. So we'll see when I get my pictures back. I may be stressing for nothing! (very likley haha)
We did the girls for 45 min, then the boys were supposed to get 45 min, but it started raining, so they got two photos or something. That's all we did before the ceremony.
We had an hour or so blocked off after the ceremony for photos. With the location change, we somehow lost all of that time and ended up rushing through families, bridal party, and me and Cody in 45 min after the ceremony.
I am honestly very mad that we didn't get more photos. I really wanted good, creative photos, and we ended up with a few creative ones, and the rest are very, very average. Partly the rain's fault, yes. But I was so concerned with pleasing my guests that I quit photos earlier. I wish I had thought of myself! And partly the photogs for not making better use of the short time we had.
