Time is always the biggest factor. I&#8217;ve had everything from 2 hours to take these shots, to just 6 minutes to get these shots because the bride was running late.

I will always ask you to designate someone to help me with this. Always!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is usually best to start large and work down. Some people can&#8217;t stand for long periods, others have kids to control. If we start with the &#8216;everybody&#8217; group shot we can then let those go that need to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s good to keep the &#8216;group&#8217; shot list small, say 6-8 shots. The more you have, the longer you&#8217;ll need. We can work out from the available time how many &#8216;group&#8217; shots you can get in that time. It can take 10 minutes just to round up everyone and position them for the biggest group shot so please don&#8217;t expect you&#8217;ll have everything done and dusted in 15 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s always a good idea to know what photos you will want on your big day.
