Once you are here, your visa is void and I-94 is only valid for 90 days (K1 visa). I don't thing you will be able to apply for a EAD separately. They might take upto 90 days just to process it... Once you get married you must be filing for AOS which includes the fee for EAD and AP. That's probably the best way to do it.

From the VJ Guides:

As a K-1 visa holder you are technically eligible to file for an EAD immediately when you arrive. However, this EAD will expire when you K-1 expires (90 days) and because of this and the wait time (>90 days) it is a waste of both time and money to bother applying. You will file as category (a)(6), "Nonimmigrant Fiance(e) of U.S. Citizen".
