Some Bride's prefer to take their photos before the ceremony since the hair and makeup is still fresh.
However, it mainly has to do with the scheduling.
Here are some popular locations for taking wedding photos.
- Casa Adobe De San Rafael (1330 Dorothy Drive, Glendale)
- Brand Friendship Garden, Brand Gazebo (1601 West Mountain Street, Glendale)
- Descanso Gardens (1418 Descanso Drive, La Canada Flintridge)
- Church of Scientology in Pasadena (Pasadena, CA)

Most of the above locations require reservation fees, so make sure to book in advance. Also, if you are not sure with locations, ask your photographer for assistance. They usually are aware of additional locations appropriate for wedding pictures.
To add a little theme or era to your photography session,
use other means of
transportation, such as a classic car or carriages could be substituted with the typical limousine. This would also be a good chance to use any memorable poses that you might have seen in magazines or wedding/engagement albums.
