How Long Do the Photos Take?

My photographer told me for my wedding to block out an hour for pictures of family and Bridal party

Talk with your photographer. It's going to depend on the size of your WP and family.

I shared my day of timeline with our photographer for his feedback and those were the questions he had for me.

My photographer told me an hour to an hour and a half for all the pictures.

An hour is the max I would keep your guests waiting for photos. I plan to make a list of people I want to be sure to getting pictures with like people combos (mom and siblings, just siblings, grandparents, etc). Hopefully this will help us stay on track with the photos so we can get to the reception in a timely manner.

We had a wedding party of 6 the two of us and we had 1hr and 45min and honestly it barely felt enough to get all the types of shots we wanted. But we were traveling to several locations so that ate up some time.

As for family portraits. We managed to get 12 specific shots with all 80 of our guests within 15 minutes because we were soooo organized and our DJ (shotlist caller) set the groups up perfectly. We were way ahead of schedule in that area!

Thanks everyone! I will be talking to my photographer!

Yep, talking it over with your photographer is the best bet. Everyone's wedding day is a bit different.

Mine suggested 1.5 hours for: 1st look, WP pics & FH's family pics. Then another hour for a group guest pic, 2 family pics on my side & our sunset pics.
