(there is a separate post that explains why you need this, look for that too!)
Start with a set of photos with the Bride by herself. It’s Her Day, after all!
Then a couple Groom by himself, then Bride and Groom together.
For scheduling purposes, just plan on the Bride and Groom starting at least half an hour early.
Then we bring in the whole wedding party. If there are kids, we bring them in last.
- Bride with all bridesmaids
- Bride with each bridesmaid individually
- Bride with all groomsmen
- Bride and Groom with Maid of Honor and Best Man
- Whole wedding party (no kids)
- Whole wedding party (with kids)
- Bride with Flower Girl
- Bride and Groom with Flower Girl and Ring Bearer
- (Then Bride takes a little break)
- Flower Girl and Ring Bearer
- Groom with Ring Bearer
- (Ring Bearer and Flower Girl are done, so its a good time for a Snack Break)
- Groom with all groomsmen
- Groom with each groomsmen individually
- Groom with all bridesmaids
We’re done with the Wedding Party
Then we start getting the parents shots
- Bride with her parents
- Bride and Groom with Brides Parents
- Bride with both Moms
- Groom with his parents
- Groom with both Dads
- Bride and Groom with Grooms Parents
- Bride and Groom, Both sets of Parents
- Grandparents (as with parents)
- Bride and Groom, all parents and grandparents
Then if you have brothers / sisters, you can do a family shot and extended families. For example, Bride, Brides brothers and sisters, her parents, etc. By now, we should be ready to take a break, freshen up, and then go do the ceremony. Oh yeah, guess we still have to do the ceremony!
See how that works? Hope that gets you off to a good start!
