Oftentimes wedding parties dread the time of day where everyone is rounded up & told that it is time to take pictures — but this should be one of the most enjoyable parts of your wedding day! I’ve created this list of ideas to help make your wedding party photos more fun for everyone involved. This way, even the grumpiest Gus of your group will have a good time! ⠀⠀
1. Put together a playlist of songs that you know will hype your people up!⠀⠀
We can build this together if you’d like, or I can send you a few of mine to look over. Spotify has tons of playlist already made for you too! Just find one that fits your vibe. Music always makes for a great time!
2. Bring snacks, beer, a joint, or all of the above — whatever gets your crowd feelin gooood.⠀
Generally, we won’t need everyone for every photo. Make the time more enjoyable by bringing along some cold beverages & some snacks for your friends to munch on! Or, we can head to a coffee shop or a pub and get some drinks and snacks there — this often gives you some really cool photos, as well!
