Sher, you can actually take your pre wedding photos in the hotel or venue you are gonna have your reception. You just have to check with the hotel which part of the hotel is suitable for photo taking! You should have the privilege since you will be the guest of the hotel. My hardworking wedding planner (from Sedan of Love) arranged for mine this way. She took the pictures of the "garden", the "room" and the "spots" I can have my wedding photos! She emailed me, I said thats fine, good idea. She then got me to sign the indemnity form, send it back to the hotel, set a date with photographer. I dont have a church, maybe you can do yours there too!! OH YES! Ok, she knows where we meet and my favourite "place", so that is gonna be arranged too! Shoot at a location meaningful which has a story to tell!(haha, I am stealing her words!). maybe both of you met in the pub? Go there!! or maybe you are NUS buddy?! Go there!! And, thats it, I am going to have my pre wedding photoshoot which is memorable to myself and my lifetime partner!
