Formal Wedding Photographs

Although the brides/grooms that pick Urban Bridesmaid Photography as their wedding photographer for their big day, are after wedding photographs that capture bride and groom and guests looking natural and at ease, they do opt for a short formal family session after the wedding ceremony to capture the more traditional formal shots.

Outside of this time, photographs are captured as the day unfolds.

How much time should be allowed for formal photos?

Formal wedding photographs does not have to take hours - every guests' nightmare! Formal shots can be taken in 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the wedding party and the number of family and friends the bride and groom wish to include.

Here are some tips to help this time go with a swing.

To speed up the process of formal photographs, make a list of all groups needed and delegate responsibility to a relative to round up the troops and ensure the required relatives are available, especially if your wedding ceremony site and wedding reception site are separate, as you may lose relatives along the way due to transport.

All your guests

Bride and groom with bride’s extended family (grandparents, sisters and brothers, other special family members)

Bride and groom with entire wedding party (bridesmaids, groomsmen etc)

Then it's the bride and groom alone shots!
