 This includes the families of both the Bride and
Groom, the whole wedding party and, of course, the Bride and Groom alone.
If your family groups are being photographed indoors but not in a studio,
you may need to allow the photographer time to set up lighting apparatus
and arrange props. Outdoors settings are generally no problem and the
photo session can begin right away. These portraits generally go quickly
(unless a family member is missing). The one to two hours for your family
groups will fly by and will depend on the size of your families, whether
there are children involved, and the size of your wedding party. This does
not include travel time to the location or travel to the reception
afterwards.
You may save money by having your photographer
photograph your cake cutting, first dance, toasting portrait and other
reception-type photographs previous to the reception, rather than when
these events really occur. By this time you will be tired of photographs
and will want to enjoy your evening and be with your guests. The usual
reception photographs will take almost one-half hour if done this way. Keep in mind
that if you have any particular requests, such as an extra
location for some portraits of the Bride and Groom, to allow extra time
for travel, set up and shooting. If you allow your photographer the time
to do their job, you will have a good experience andphotographs to last a
lifetime.
