After the ceremony you may want to have a group photograph taken while all your guests are together. This ensures you have at least one image of everyone who attended your special day.
Make sure you allow plenty of time to get everyone organised for the group shot. Ushers can be a great help in speeding things along here by letting everyone know that they are needed for a few minutes for a group photograph. A high window, steps or balcony can provide an excellent vantage point for getting everyone's face in the picture clearly.
Smaller group shots can be as informal or as formal as you like, but remember it can take longer to direct a group of people so limit the number of smaller groups to what is important to YOU the couple - it's your day and your wedding album after all - and don't allow endless combinations of guest groups to compromise images that may be more important to you, such as the shots of the two of you together.
If it helps, make a list of the essential groups and give a copy to an usher or the best man, and a copy to your photographer. Sticking to a set of important group shots will make this part of the day as smooth as possible for you and your guests.
Group shots can be taken indoors or outdoors, and will usually include the bride and groom with each set of parents, immediate family, siblings, and of course a photograph with the bridesmaids and groomsmen.
There is no rule on how traditional these shots need to be, and if you want to inject a little fun and quirkiness to your album then group shots can become a real talking point!
