Couple Portraits Timings
*
I recommend planning 15-20 mins for these while guests are being seated for dinner
Group Photo Timings
*
I recommend allowing 30 mins to do 6-8 group shots
Please list group photos and include names (suggested number of group shots is 6-8)
*
For example
1. Couple with immediate family #1
2. Couple with parents #1
3. Couple with immediate family #2
4. Couple with parents #2
5. Wedding party (bridesmaids, groomsmen)
6. Friends
In my experience it takes:
10 minutes to do a big group shot of all guests
4 minutes to do small friend/ family photos
6 minutes to do larger (8+) friend/family photos
10 mins for more creative/ sitting shots
Confirm who the guest gatherers are (for helping with confetti shot, and group shots)
*
I suggest picking one person from each side of the family that can gather up the right people
