Quick, simple and effective. Here is my tried and tested formal photo list that will ensure this part of the day is quick and painless whilst still getting the key images you need.

-P1, P2 & grandparents (if applicable)

-P1, P2 & P1 parents

-P1 & parents

-P1, P2 & P2 parents

-P2 & parents

-P1 & respective wedding party

-P1, P2 & both wedding parties

-P2 & respective wedding party

Please let me know if we need to work in step parents, which grandparents we have (if any) and on whose side they are on etc in the form above

Can we have pictures with friends/colleagues/school mates/godparents?

Absolutely! Yes! However, to keep this ‘formal’ part to a minimum, let’s concentrate on the VIPs and get them in the bag. Once we have them, please just call me over when you are with anyone you would like a photo with. It keeps it much less formal and intrusive and helps the day flow more naturally.
