- Today we're continuing our Wedding Day 101 Series with a part of the wedding day that most people don't think much about BUT can really make or break the day: Bridal Party portraits! This part of the day requires more people skills than photography skills but can also be an amazing marketing opportunity if handled correctly. In this video we break down my entire thought process behind photographing the bridal party and should be very valuable to you, especially if you're new to photographing weddings!

Am I the only one who loves this part because we’re having fun together? It’s not stressful to me at all.
I've been through a dozen weddings, but always found family formals quite stressful. Great advice and tips even for not-rookie shooters. Very helpful! Thank you, Katelyn!
I do literally the EXACT same thing as you - and I've never watched your real weddings. How the heck did we get the same EXACT wedding party workflow?! "traditional, boy/girl/boy/girl, walking, sitting" is my go to for whole group.
Family formals are my kryptonite! They are ok but never as efficient as I imagine they will be
Same here :) I enjoy all the other parts, but family and group portraits can be stressful
Sooo I do NOT do wedding photography but I watched this video to help with an adult family photoshoot. There are a lot of helpful posing similarities!!! Katelyn, you are amazing! Thank you :)
This is honestly some unique insights. Thanks!
Katelyn - you are just the ultimate!
Omg can't believe I'm so early! Leaving a comment before i even finish eatching the video because I'm sure Katelyn will deliver as she always does !
Thank you so much for this info! Very helpful!
Thank you Katelyn, very helpful!
I always love this series!!
Very helpful!
why did you put the lady with ginger hair on the end?
Oh my, the photographers at a wedding I attended didn’t even do a family photo of the couple with their kids and a photo of the bride with each bridesmaid, groom with each groomsmen, a photo like the one at 8:42 . I gotta say, not once did I hear them say a word. There was a huge area of just grass where they could have placed each pair, scattered around with the bride and groom in the middle, but no, nothing creative at all. The photos of the bride ALL took place under the small gazebo where they stood for the ceremony. And to make it worse, there was a chair behind her that should have been moved out of the way. At least two of the Groomsmen wore sunglasses the WHOLE time. My sister was part of the bridal party and she didn’t get to have a photo taken with the bride. I have never seen duo photographers not know what to do. When the sun fully came out, the lady used flash. I don’t think they were using full frame cameras bc they squeezed everyone in on every pose. As a photographer myself, I didn’t say a word. I didn’t want to offend the photographers. But there were too many missed opportunities to get better poses and different shots. I’m not certain how the couple will feel when they see their photos bc the fabric hanging in the gazebo was also touching the bride’s head (she’s tall). Hopefully a few could be photoshopped, but they’ll regret not taking a family photo for sure.
Do you include a videographer in your day for the couple or do they hire any videographer they want?
It's 2.57am I'm going to shoot a wedding tomorrow morning, can't sleep. I feel like I don't know anything.
Are you using flash if any sort? Or are you just utilizing ambient light? I’m not seeing flash. Ty ty
what if one of the bridesmaids and grooms men are couples (or husbands and wives) and want to stand with each other in the mixed photo?
most stressful bloody part of the wedding. not so much anymore. taking this into the wedding in two days
I have that top! LOL
Who is Michael?
I bring a megaphone. For real. They think it's so awesome! People do not listen sometimes!
Girl, are you talking about the phrase....nuts to butts? ;)
"flowers belly button level - pubes not boobs" (Ugh, I hate these hahahaah but I will say them depending on the crowd!)
This was great! Thank you!
