I'm doing a wedding in May with three attendants on each side. How would you shoot the brides/bridesmaids and groom/groomsmen pictures? So many poses seem to work best with the same number of girls on each side of the bride, whereas with three you end with one and two.

Any suggestions/examples? Thanks.

Let it be one and two. Not much you can do about that. Assuming you're doing what I call Grandma's Groupshots, have the bride facing the direction of the two girls instead of the one so it looks balanced...ie 2 girls facing in from the left and two girls facing in from the right. When you're being creative for the album, you can do whatever you want. Stagger them, have some sit, etc.


Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here (external link). Cursing at your worse-than-a-map reflector? Check out this vid! (external link)

Well to tell you the truth I think they look better when there are an odd number... I think it looks weird when they are so symetrical. I do agree have her turn slightly towards the side with the smaller amount of numbers. just get creative...
