The SECRET to Photographing a Bridal Party (Wedding Day 101)

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

    Do you include a videographer in your day for the couple or do they hire any videographer they want?

    Are you using flash if any sort? Or are you just utilizing ambient light? I’m not seeing flash. Ty ty
