Were looking at having our photographs done by the photographer between the ceremony and the reception. What do we have our guests do in the meantime?
The photo session lasts a long time - two hours or more is typical. Most guests won't wait that long for you to arrive at the reception. I would suggest that you do as many pictures before the ceremony as possible, such as those of the bride and her attendants and her family and of the groom and his attendants and family.
Then, while you are finishing the photos, the caterer can serve beverages and hors d' oeurves to the waiting guests. Some couples also show a short video of their childhood photos during this time also. If you are having the reception at a location that has pretty grounds or some other special feature, you might suggest that the guests enjoy the facility while they wait.
