Please review our formal photography groupings list, let us know if you would like to make any changes or additions. We typically don’t have time for adding onto this list during the normal 1 hr cocktail time period, and requests with extended family such as aunts/uncles or in-laws should come with a time extension as well.
In the event that formal photography moves quickly during your day, you’re free to call over extra family for the remaining time. Note the average session including the list below takes 20-40 minutes on average. The remaining time is spent photographing the wedding couple and getting details of the reception area before it opens.
