- It gives the bride and groom something to do before the ceremony and it takes their mind off wondering if the rest of the day is going to go well. The beforehand photo session can actually be a lot of fun!
- The only people that would be around before the ceremony would be, if possible, the wedding party, brothers, sisters and parents.

Since these are the most important people needed for pictures, the session goes much faster because there are no guests around at that time.
- After a beautiful and moving wedding ceremony, people are sometimes crying and guests all want to congratulate the bride and groom. Especially at a one location wedding, people don't usually feel like taking all the photos afterwards. There is a cocktail hour usually happening and this is when the bride and groom prefer to say hello to many dear friends and relatives who have come from afar.
- The entire pace of the wedding goes smoother and quicker if most of the photos have already been taken in advance. This makes the catering manager, DJ or band and guests happier and even reduces the liquor bill at the cocktail hour!
- After photos are taken beforehand and the bride and groom separate, he still waits at the front and she is escorted down the aisle by her Dad as usual. The couple still gazes at each other and the moment is just as special for them because they realize that this is the moment they have been waiting for!
The fact that photos have been taken in a nice spot before the ceremony, does not detract from the magic of the moment when the ceremony begins. Also, the guests have not seen the bride in advance, so they ARE seeing the bride for the first time at the ceremony. This usually elicits many proud and joyful smiles!
