Wedding photos

[Dibble]

What are the usual groupings/photos for weddings?

[chim_knee]

Are you asking as the person getting married or the photographer?

The reason I ask is because if you're the latter then they should give you the list - if you're the former, this is the approximate list we had;

Obviously, all included both bride and groom in each picture and what was taken for the bride with her family was then taken for the groom and his;

Bride Parents (two sets as parents divorced)
Groom Parents
Bride (then Groom) Grandparents
B&G Parents and Grandparents
B&G and siblings (with their partners & family)
Groom with best man and ushers
Bride with bridesmaids
Bride with all her family
Groom with all his
B&G with friends
Everyone

Then, obviously the B&G on their own at various different places around the venue.

If you think of it as you with each family - starting with parents, then grandparents, then sibilings, then extended family, then friends - the groupings kind of suggest themselves.

It depends how many photo's you're getting too. You don't want a million of people you've invited because you feel you should if the number is limited - be selfish, you're paying!!

All the very best for the day! You will have an absolute ball... I had such a fantastic time (genuinely the best day of my life so far). Hope you do too.

If you have any specific group you want, it's a good idea to let the photographer know in advance.

I had a picture taken with my God Mother, and also my nephews.

I would make your own list, don't include the main wedding party, the photographer should take those anyway. It saves a lot of time if you know what groups you want, rather than the photographer having to keep asking you what next. You just enjoy the BIG DAY......

You could also get a few photos from a high vantage point. That way you could squeeze in a lot of the other guests into one photo.

Have a chat with simpo two, he did the photography at my brother-in-laws wedding. Very relaxed shots, lots of candid ones as well. A few are on his website, my daughter is the bridesmaid on there, we were chuffed with the shots of her.
