Wedding Party Photos

lally0724 · 27th of February 2006 (Mon)

Hello, I'm looking for some help for ideas for "different" set ups for wedding parties. I don't want the same old linup of girls on one side and guys on the other. I've browsed through different websites, but photographers don't seem to post many wedding party photos, it seems to be more focused on the bride and groom. Anyway, any great wedding party photos or ideas would be really appreciated,
thanks,
Lally

Tim posted a really fun pose with all the wedding party lined up as a heart shape. A real fun idea and works great with larger groups.

The reason for not so many bridal party shots is probably because it's often "must have pictures - but boring". But with some fun imagination there can be some fun shots. I recently saw a shot from a football player (american football), where all the groomsmen were lined up as a typical lineup in a game, with ball and all... but everyone wearing black tuxes. I thought that was fun!

I'd suggest looking at some typical "group" images to get some ideas, not just for weddings. You could have them do almost anything, jump, shoot hoops, whatever fancy you - and them. Nothing has to be a boring stiff event with everyone lined up on each side of the Bride and Groom.

I saw a good photo with the guests forming a circle around the B&G - about 1.5m radius. That was cool.
