Our spacious restrooms mean less time waiting in line and more time on the dance floor!

We have plenty of space on our dance floor and this proves it!

Apparently, the wedding photography industry is divided on this one. 😂

One of my favorite things to do before opening up the dance floor is to invite EVERYONE to join the couple and wedding party for one big group photo!

Why? Two reasons.

First, it’s a great way to get everyone out of their seats and onto the dance floor before the party starts.

Second, how cool is it to have ONE photo with almost everyone who came to celebrate your wedding?

I’ve asked several wedding photographers what they think about this, and the responses have been pretty split.

Some LOVE it! Others aren’t fans because of the challenges with lighting, lenses, composition, and the expectation of getting a perfect shot with that many people.

And I can understand both sides.

Personally, I love the experience it creates, and when it works, you get photos like this!

And yes, this was probably the fourth photo taken. The couple got their group photos without me in them first. 😂

So I’m curious, especially from my photographer friends.

Are wedding group photos like this a GREAT idea or an unnecessary hassle?

Let’s hear it in the comments!
