The Beginner's Guide To: Posing Bride and Groom, Bridal Party, and Family Formals

Have the groomsmen stand at the back, arms around each others’ shoulders.

*I’ll usually say, “act like you love each other!”

The bridesmaids will be slightly bent down so you can see the groomsmen and then the bride and groom will be squatting or on one knee.

I have them look at me first, to get another “formal” in. Then I’ll have them do something silly.

*If the bride is weird about getting that close to the ground. Scoot the groom over a bit and have her sit on his knee, she can then wrap her arms around his neck and WAH-LAH doesn’t have to be on the ground.
