How much time for getting ready pics??

How early should the photographer be at your house to take the getting ready pictures? My ceremony is at 3. Some photographers are telling me they can be there at like 1. Others say around 130. How much time do you really need?

Please help! I am clueless.

Mine said about 2 hours but that includes FH with his side of the family and me getting ready.

And I am getting ready at the hall/reception site so there is not transit time for the photographer.

avg. is 2 hrs before the ceremony.
The reason why they come early is because they take pics of you getting ready, w. FG, BM, outside and if the ceremony is in a different place they go to take pics of the Groom and his Groomsmen and mother etc... Thats how it worked for my sisters and my photog is coming 2 hrs before and then will leave to go to the church to take pics of FH.

My ceremony is at 2pm and the photographer told us that he will be at my house at 12:30pm. I think that will be more than enough time for us. I might bump it up to 12 noon, but I do not even think that I have to.

My ceremony is at 4 and our photographer told us he would be at the house by 130. I personally think that its to early, I dont want a 100 pictures taken of just me and my bridesmaids. We think we are gonna tell him to be at the house at 2....that extra 30mins will give me more time to be relaxed...
