Group Portraits
On wedding day all of the things are captured- this includes wedding party and family! The wedding party group photos are pretty straight forward- we capture bridesmaids with bride(s), groomsmen with groom(s), full wedding party together with the couple. We also like to capture each bridesmaid individually with the bride and groomsmen individually with the groom (as long as everything is running on time).
Family Wedding Photo Groupings
Below are some pretty basic group photos that are a great starting point (or actual template if this works for your family's dynamic!). Sometimes couples don't want to spend the time to capture all of these, in which case I will ask the couple to create their own list so that we are sure to capture what they wish for.
*Immediate family refers to parents, siblings, grandparents
