Wedding party photos can be a lot of fun! I go into a wedding with this thought: “the couple have asked all these people to be in their wedding party for a reason, so I’d better get some good shots of everyone” Some couples have ideas about their wedding party photos because they’ve done certain setups before at other weddings or they’ve seen a photo that I’ve done or somewhere else that they like. Whatever the case may be, and this is going to be a recurring theme with me. If it’s important to you, I’m going to make it happen.
Many times, the best wedding party photos happen in between directed moments. I love the way things just “happen” on wedding day photo assignments. Those moments fit my always ready, sniper style perfectly. Wedding party photos are USUALLY done before the ceremony (separately if that’s what has been discussed before the wedding day), then together after the family photos are taken post ceremony. If there’s formal transport from ceremony location to reception location, I might suggest stopping at a place or two to goof around a little. All these things are completely up to you.
I just want to always ensure that you get a solid body of coverage from your wedding day that includes each and every person you’ve invited to your wedding. Especially your families and wedding party. Here are a few wedding party photos. Enjoy!
