So in principle I can still reenter the UK with my BRP if I booked the ceremony after I come back to the UK?
Nothing changes until after you do the ceremony and get your certificate, so once you get back you can do your ceremony and put in your passport application.

You will need passport-sized photographs.
Just correcting myself on this. I didn't need photographs, I needed a copy of my ID. Misremembered as I got photographs done at the same time as the copies.
