Family group photos are always expected but rarely used, however, they are very important to both families. We discovered when one of our clients had a sudden death in the family and the photographs of that person during our client’s wedding helped the family get through a very difficult time.
The problem is that after the ceremony everyone wants to get on to the party and it becomes a real challenge to coral all the right people. If family and group photos happen prior to the ceremony it is less likely that family and friends will drift away. All this aside, we work to make the photos go fast and most importantly be fun for all concerned.

More often than not the guys are most fun to shoot because they tend to be more relaxed, less concerned about doing strange things. That is not to say that the ladies are not fun…just that the guys are more willing to go along with our crazy ideas! They are also less likely to feel the need to be formal which in turns creates a greater opportunity for their true nature to show through. It is also fun to have a little guy in the group because he usually wants to be like the big guys which always lends itself to great shots.

As I have mentioned earlier we like to get some time with just the bride and groom whether it’s before or after the ceremony. This time is very tender and intimate and really gives a chance to capture the real energy between the couple. These are the images thatwill help them remember their love in tough times and take them back to joy they felt on their wedding day.

For couples who choose to see each other before the ceremony, this part of there day can be a time for grounding. Many of our clients express how important it was for them to see each at this time…the tender intimacy helped to ground them and eliminate any anxiety related to the remainder of the day.
Choosing to see each other before the ceremony also gave them the chance to bring in the support of their wedding party and combined families.We don’t advocate for either choice since ultimately it is up to the couple.

We like to see weddings as if they were plays that unfold in a sequence of Acts beginning with Preparations, moving to the Ceremony and finishing with the Party. Tucked into each of these acts are smaller scenes
Act 1: Preparations
* Scene 1: Bride and bridal party getting dressed
* Scene 2: Groom and his party getting dressed
* Scene 3: Couple alone if they choose to see each other before the ceremony,
* Scene 4: The wedding party either separately if bride & groom choose not to see each other or together if they do chose to see each other.
