Normally we would be in charge over the ideas and jokes that happen for group photos but in this case one of the groomsmen took charge and thought it would be hilarious to pose with the flowers from the girls, and they went on to mock them, tease them and even tease each other. All we had to do was let them be and shoot away.

Despite having cut their feet off (our bad), the goal was to focus more on their emotions and reactions to the situation. Wide enough to show them all, but close up enough to get their laughter and their moment.

We focused on our groom in this photo since most of the groomsmen were all on the same focal plain. This meant that we didn’t have an issue where some of them fall out of focus.

The way the EXIF is written out follows the common photographic method (with the inclusion of White Balance at the end). Here it is broken down:

The sun was out pretty harshly and so we found a nice spot in the shade to do the group photos. As added precaution, we had the sun behind them in case it popped out – which would then give us a sweet little rim light.
Weather was super clear as well, so no clouds could soften the light.

The edits are made to be warmer with a big focus on skin tones and light play with shadows and highlights. A few minor local adjustments were made (Gradient and Brush) as well as finishing off with a fine layer of grain. The whites are not blown out nor are the blacks 100% crunched.
We had no major challenges or issues to deal with.
No solutions needed :)

When you have a group that have a really great dynamic together, sometimes it can be really cool to let them take charge of the ideas. Especially groomsmen and bridesmaids. They all know their own sense of humour and often jump at the chance to tease / play with the bridal couple.
Don’t cut off their feet ;)
