Today we are talking about the group shots, some people start with the big group and work down, the logic here is the guests can then go after having their pics taken and get a drink.
In any event there's pretty much set pics you want to take.
Both families, check before the wedding if both sets of parents are alive and coming to avoid calling for them. Friends and workmates. The bridal party, the best man bridesmaids etc. Then we come to the bride and groom, I find it best to take them off somewhere by themselves if you can, ideally a garden in the venue, or maybe a local park (can have joe public being a pain though) The idea here is to get the pretty pics and give the B+G chance to relax. Here you can shoot lots of images if your digital, get some out of focus backgrounds to lift the couple from them, fill flash if needed on most or all the formal shots is my usual.
Take your time though, and it helps to have an assistant or maybe one of the bridesmaids, they can hold the flowers, or adjust the dress etc while you concentrate on shooting.
When you get back from shooting these shots I'd recommend you do a fake cake cutting, it's easier without loads of others around, and you have the B+G undivided attention. Wayne
We are coming to the end of this series, next time is the evening and post processing the images.
