One of the many burning questions among brides and grooms:

“Should we see each other before the ceremony or not?”

There are many reasons why you might want to–alleviate those pre-ceremony butterflies, take some pictures so you will have more time at the reception, share a private moment together before you are in front of family and friends.

Those who adhere to tradition can still have pictures together without seeing each other, according to Sarah Hagerty of Hagerty Photography.

She shares these charming images of Rachel and Chase at their recent wedding at Firesky Resort and Spa.

She recalls, “Since this bride and groom, Rachel & Chase decided not to see each other before the wedding for their bride and groom pictures, we did something special.

We set Rachel and Chase up in such a way that they never saw each other until Rachel walked down the aisle with her father, yet we got some awesome pictures of them together beforehand!”

And here they are at their ceremony!

And the lovely couple afterwards, enjoying their time together.

Congratulations, Chase and Rachel!
